Remember, the ball must be possessed in frontcourt in 10 seconds. So the correct call is the 10 sec. violation.

Precision Time has nothing to do with the shot clock. PTS only runs the game clock. Shot clocks run independent of game clocks. Precision time can definitely start early or even stop w/o a whistle. A heavy breath or talking can stop it. They are not infallilible and aren't quite as "precise" as the name would ensue.
My guess is they couldn't b/s their way outta this one and had to call something....big surprise!!
