With the new mechanic for using the shot clock vice a visible count, this actually makes a great case play. The NCAA should adopt it.
So what if the official doesn't have knowledge of a lapse. TO is called, you look up and see "24." Do you call the violation and give the coach the option to take the timeout back?
Probably not. I'm guessing not calling the violation is simply a non-reviewable official's error?
In the NBA the count is not reset following a timeout, correct? Or is this moot because the ball is advanced to the division line?
I stink at NBA rules.
