the rule book says you have 10 sec to advance the ball into your frontcourt (not human sec but actual). no one person has a perfect count, that is why the shot clock is more acurate. (this may not be verbatim but you get the picture) in the original post i stated the clock started properly. since 10 seconds have elapsed a violation would be correct, though i see everyones logic to say the clock may have ran after the whistle. in that case adding a sec to the game clock and shotclock would be a correct procedure and also save your rear.
