When I say a hard 8 count, I mean the 8 second count doesn't reset if the defense knocks the ball OOB, or the offense calls a timeout. This is different than NCAA/NFHS which would give the offense a new 10 second count after the defense knocks the ball OOB/calls a timeout/IW, etc. The 8 second count only resets when specific things occur (defensive foul in backcourt, technical foul on defense, kick/punched ball, etc.)
If you're officiating with the 24 second shot clock, then you don't swing the 8 second cuout like you would if you were doing a 10 second count in the backcourt. After a throw-in, the 8 second count starts when the ball is legally touched inbounds (no matter what), and thus, when the shot clock hits 16 (under normal situations), you have an 8 second violation. Now you won't be using a shot clock, then go ahead and swing your arm for the count.

Reason: clarification...the shot clock wouldn't start on the legal touch after a jump ball
