I believe that his was posted by a coach to show that officials say stupid things also. In this case, it looks like the official confused the release of the try, and end of team control, with the failure of the ball to hit the rim, as in a 30 second violation. In the, hopefully, rookie official's mind, since the shot didn't hit the rim, then he continued to count three seconds, as the 30 second clock kept ticking. I hope that this happened in an NCAA game, or a high school game that uses NCAA rules, or a hybrid version of NFHS rules with a shot clock, or this, hopefully, rookie official really has problems.
