Art. 4. When an obvious mistake by the shot-clock operator has occurred in failing to start, stop, set or reset the shot clock or when a shot clock has malfunctioned, the mistake or the malfunctioning problem may be corrected in the shot-clock period in which it occurred only when the official has definite information relative to the mistake or malfunctioning problem and the time involved. Any activity, after the mistake or malfunctioning problem has been discovered, shall be canceled, excluding any flagrant foul, intentional foul, or technical foul.
I would say the officials could correct the error. They had definite knowledge that more than seven seconds elapsed on the shot clock. I would think this would still be considered during the same shot-clock period. Rule a shot clock violation, and add 3 seconds back to the game clock.
