Just to throw my two cents in. At the camps I was at this summer and through my supervisors, the consistent theme was if the shot clock hits 24 and the ball has not been established in the front court, there better be a whistle and a ten second violation. One of my supervisors even went to so far as to say he doesn't care how many times the official flicks his/her arm; that clock hits 24, whistle. As for watching the clock and not the game, at camp they stressed that the top level officials have a feel for the clock and only look up when they know it's getting close. And, if they look up and see anything under 25, and they haven't blown a whistle, they know they are in trouble. It was also stessed that many teams, especially at the college level, have one of the assistants watch the clock for just this type of situation.
