Gentlemen, and ladies of course,

Let me preface by saying I am a huge Wichita State fan, but I'm definitely not a homer, and I have had many arguments with the fans on shockernet regarding officiating. However, I do have a question that I'm befuddled about.

In todays game against Alabama, with Alabama bringing it up, Wichita State was applying intense pressure in the backcourt, and knocked the ball out of bounds. The announcers mentioned that Alabama only had 3 seconds to get the ball across halfcourt. After a timeout, on the ensuing throw-in, Wichita State backed off the pressure, and Alabama got the ball across halfcourt with about 18, 19 on the shot clock.

We at shockernet are all wondering why this was not a 10 second violation. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding, but I thought the rule this season was that a timeout or a ball knocked out of bounds didn't reset the 10 second count, and that the officials went off the shot clock anyways. So, did the officials miss this, or am I misunderstanding the rule? Thanks in advance.
