Didn't see the play, but was the foul before or after the ball was touched inbounds?
Even so, that doesn't automatically mean the clock should have counted down any, particularly when it was at a point where 10ths are not displayed.
I think the rule should be altered to not be based on the clock running but be based on the ball being both live and gaining inbounds status on a throwin or on a rebound of a FT. That should basically get the desired effect without linking it to the clock operation.
