Right or wrong, imo it's almost universal that both of these are administered with some variance to the written rule. Until they changed the penalty for swinging an elbow, that one wasn't called by the book either.

Officiating basketball can be an art rather than a science some times. But those times don't include when to start a 10-second backcourt count.
