Nothing would have changed with the foul regardless of whether it was inside the 10-second window. The violation wasn't called. It's done.

Regarding PTS: It ain't foolproof. I had a chance to use it in a scrimmage earlier this month. The game clock operator told me he always starts/stops the clock at the console because in his building PTS has been known to be cranky. He's the backup so it makes sense the clock will start/stop a bit late.
