Chuck,
Here is logic behind new shot clock on this play.
Rule 2-13.6.c The shot clock operator shall stop the timing device and reset it when a held ball occurs. (Exceptions as follow)
Exc 2-13.7.d Stop the timing device and continue time without a reset when play begins under the following circumstances: During team control as defined in 4-13, a defensive player causes a held ball and the AP arrow favors the offensive team.
Exc 2-13.7.g Stop the timing device and continue time without a reset when play begins under the following circumstances: After any technical foul.....
this has nothing to do with the play in question.
Under the first exception listed above, there must be team control. Since the airball was simultaneously possessed by both teams, this criteria was not met. Therefore there must be a reset of the shot clock.
If Team A had momentarily possessed the shot and then was tied up by Team B, there would be no reset.
