It is not unlike a FT lane violation. It is delayed pending the result of the try. The violation essentially occurs when the clock hits zero but is ignored if the ball subsquently hits the rim or goes in.
Think of it like this...the team has 24 seconds to release a legitamate try...and a legitmate try is defined by hitting the rim or going in. At the point of release, you can't always tell if it will at least hit the rim or not...so you must wait. But the violation, if there was one, already occured at the time of the buzzer.
I don't think either version is really all that much better than the other, just different.
