I tried giving a benefit of the doubt, so I thought "maybe it clipped the front of the rim" and watched it again and then again in slow motion. It wasn't even close.

I had such a shot clock violation in a women's game on Saturday, but it was in the middle of the half. I did hesitate a second (as the trail) because I thought the C was in better position to get this, but when he had no whistle, I called the violation. Actually, my play was slightly different in that the shot clock expired just as the offense got the rebound, but the result should've been the same.

It's game awareness. I know that I would've pulled the crew together and reminded them of the shot clock situation. Having it just a couple of seconds apart like that screams out extra awareness on this play.
