I don't know the ins and outs of the clock correction rules, obviously, but I guess at first blush I can see where the two situations appear a bit inconsistent.

In the VT/Duke game, if the ball was inbounded in the backcourt the officials could have used the 10-second count as
definite knowledge.
In the Clemson/Duke game, there were no counts to utilize b/c Clemson gained control of the ball in its frontcourt.
