I'm just guessing but it's possible that might be the reason that there wasn't an 8-second violation called.

Are you a math major, by any chance?
JR,

OP wasn't questioning why there wasn't a violation called. In fact, his first three paragraphs were extraneous information, but it does give us a mental image of his exact situation, and what actions caused him to wonder about the 8-second rule.

Your blue text answers a question that s/he did not ask!
