Remember, the ball must be possessed in frontcourt in 10 seconds. So the correct call is the 10 sec. violation.

The start/stop of the clock really had nothing to do with this -- the ball was tipped out by the defense in the backcourt and Hightower stopped his 10 second count even though team control hadn't ended.

Right call by rule, but I wonder if the result was gotten to in a way specifically allowed. Anyone want to address that?

Edited to add: Nobody even looked at it until the Ohio State coach screamed about the shot clock being at 24.
