Well, maybe they should employ the monitor use, but I don't know.
Without seeing the play, I'm assuming they went by the NBA rule which states that at least 0.3 must run off the clock, and more can be taken off at the crew chief's discretion.
While the monitor is helpful for determining release before the horn, it really would be hard to use for starting the clock - up to 1/10th of a second can elapse between when the clock starts and when the digits change. Might not seem like much, but it can make a difference when we're talking only 0.2-0.7 seconds on the clock.
I thought Precision Timing was supposed to end crazy stuff like this!
