Its tough to comment without knowing if you have any rule deviations....

Ogg- In NF, these rules are not correct. I believe that California is the deviation here. In NF, the only count in the back court is the 10-second count. My understanding of the NF rules, is that Mark is correct. It may be that a 10-second count could have properly been called, but it wasn't -- and the 5-second count didn't apply.

Most places that have a shot clock use NCAA rules. Under women's NCAA rules, there is no 10-second backcourt count (or violation); the team could remain in the backcourt for the duration of the shot clock. There is, however a five-second closely guarded count in the backcourt. (In NCAA women's "closely guarded" is only while holding the ball -- not while dribbling).
Men's NCAA backcourt and closely guarded rules are the same as FED.
