Shot Clock Screw-up In One Point Game

[Frankie]

Consolation Senior High Boys Final.
Great Game!
38 seconds left on the clock, A is up by one point. B has bonus one and one and misses first shot. A rebounds and starts up the floor.

After about 20 seconds A1 who has the ball starts yelling to his coach/teammates, asking how much time left on the shot clock. (Nobody can answer because the shot clock has been turned off!!) After another 10 seconds B coach and B players are screaming something about the clock (I'm trail and have the ball in my quadrant, the lead is off ball but is at a bad angle to see the shot clock). Finally coach B yells to foul and stop the game clock. B1 grabs A1....TWEEET! 1.8 left on the game clock.

Oh oh, what a mess. My partner and I go right to the table to talk with the timers (The table crew had done a great job all weekend so this error was a surprise). The shot clock operator said she did exactly what she was told "Shut the clock off when there are less than 30 seconds left on the game clock". Urrggg!!!

We agreed that the error occured (shot shut off) at about 18 seconds left on the game clock. So we put 18 seconds on the clock, 10 on the shot and cancelled the foul (because it should not of had to happen). Both coaches agreed.

The result...A inbounds and makes a jumper at the shot buzzer to go up by three. B comes down for three and the ball hits the rim, missing at the buzzer.

Great Game, but did we do this correctly? Can't find anything in the rules (yet). Is this a case for 2.3.1 Elastic power???
