A shot clock violation occurred, do you really need to check the monitor? In the NBA, the officials would have told the operator to put 10.0 seconds on the clock, it would have taken 2 seconds to do so.

The shot must be released before the clock expires, but it's not a violation until the ball doesn't hit the rim. So, the actual time elapsed could be more than 35 seconds. Here, 35.6 seconds, apparently.

Now, if the shot wasn't off in time, then you'd be right - just reset the clock.
