10-second violation

If what you said was true (that 34 was on the clock after the timeout, and subsequently a 10 second violation was called at 25), then either both officials had a brain fart (though there's no reason for the C to call a violation here unless it's absolutely obvious), or both officials had a fast count. I'm banking on the first one.

Like I said, I'm going off the TV graphics, so it's possible that they made the mistake.

D1 officials tend to watch the shot clock to determine the backcourt counts...that is why there was (at least as you described) a double whistle with T and C...

(just to cover myself and avoid an argument based on semantics...note I said "D1 officials tend to"...I did not say ALL or MOST)...I just can't deal w/ a silly discussion forum debate on Friday...

I think you are right, I read somewhere the C will have an eye on the shot clock and can call this...

Also, in this game, saw a rare violation in first half when the thrower-in handed the ball to his teammate. Covering official was on it.

IMO, the C should only be in assistance if the T requests it. The C shouldn't be calling a 10-sec violation.

For example: if an inbound pass by A1 is deflected by B1 and a scramble for the ball lasts about 3 seconds, the shot and game will start simultaneously. A2 picks up the ball with 32 seconds on the shot-clock; the T starts his 10-second count. With 25 seconds showing on the shot-clock and the ball still in the BC, the C (assuming he's now a hero with a whistle) calls a 10-sec violation when the T only has 7 secs on his 10-sec count. Big blunder by the C.

A ten second count starts when an in-bound player and his team is in control of the ball.
