I'm not necessarily advocating calling a violation on this play as the off official. I'm only arguing the point that an off-official wouldn't be able to look at this clock in this situation.

I'm only arguing that an off-official can't look at the clock in a sufficient manner to call a violation.

A good off-official will check the clock after a made basket or a whistle. Next level officiating is clock-awareness.

Fair enough. I'm not saying that glancing at the clock is not possible. I'm saying that I can't imagine the need or desire to do so in lieu of just about anything else I might primarily or secondarily be responsible for.

Here's a ten-second call from the C, with yours truly starring as the man with the whistle. I even got fancy and superimposed a clock on the screen.

IMO, that was to close for "help" in HS, was this college? And does college use the clock, not the count?

Yes, NCAAW D3.

And yes, the clock is used which is why I ended up making the call while the T was watching the ball handler and defender.
