I need more information, and this is a HTBT kind of play. Because they didn't blow the ball dead as soon as they realized a shot clock expiration should have taken place, I can only assume they were either completely unaware of the shot clock status, or they judged the ball may have grazed the rim, hence permitting the reset.
If I'm 100% sure the ball missed the rim and I know for sure the put back wouldn't have been in time, then I blow it dead, call the SC violation, and we move on.
If for some reason I choke, but then we get together within the correctable error timeframe and confirm this was an error, than this is a failure to properly cancel a score and the error can be corrected. Then ball at POI and we play on.
I find this article to be very slanted toward the aggrieved team and coach, so I'm not putting too much stock into it. The officials probably saw it differently from 10 feet away than the coach did from 50 feet away. He deserved his T.
