Yes, the scenario is slightly different, but the precedent is clear and the difference in situations is nominal at best.
That said, if you want to insist the coach pick a different shooter in this scenario and play short until the clock properly runs, go right ahead. It's not a situation likely to occur more than 2 or 3 times in your career. But how you handle it could actually affect your career.

Exactly. Don't be that guy. The case play may not specifically cover that exact situation, but sometimes it's better to play with the rulebook rather than have it bronzed and on a pedestal. (Sorry, that's another thread.)
