I think I may be changing my mind on this one, at least for NCAA. From the case book:

Quote:
A.R. 25: Team A has the ball and is working for a shot. The shot-clock horn sounds and then A1 shoots and scores an apparent field goal. The shot-clock horn is not heard by the officials on the playing court. Play
continues with Team B inbounding the ball. With 20 seconds remaining
on the shot clock, the official calls traveling on B1. At that time,
the official timer calls the referee to the scorers’ table to explain that
the shot clock had sounded before A1 scored the field goal.

RULING: When, in the official’s judgment, the goal was erroneously counted
while the game clock was running, the goal shall be canceled. Since the clock
was running in this case, the official has until the second live ball after the
error to make the correction. The error shall be correctable until the ball is
put in play after the traveling call.
(Rule 2-12.3 and 2-12.1.e)
I guess, to the NCAA, this does count as erroneously counting a goal. It would be interesting to see it applied, though.
