I can COMPLETELY agree if Team A gets the board or even if Team A touches it or if the ball hits the floor beforehand.

But I think it's wrong to call it when Team B gets the ball before it hits the ground.

That's all. I'm done with arguing my thoughts. I'm wrong. I understand.
Shot clock violations are, essentially, delayed violations. The violation is for not releasing a shot that hits the rim or goes in; but you don't know it's a violation until the shot misses. Actually, there are a lot of violations that can be committed without team control.

The fact is, with the shot clock violation, team control isn't really a concern, otherwise an airball taken with 27 seconds left on the shot clock would result in a re-set due to loss of team control.
