10 seconds back court violation?

[ronny mulkey]

Resuming play after a T.O. on opposite end of the court for the offensive team. Time remaining is exactly 1:00 minutes. Throw-in caught and clock starts properly. Offensive team is granted a time out, offensive team is still 5' in the backcourt and the clock reads 48.7 seconds. The C and L have definite knowledge that the clock started properly.

1. If you had been either the C or L would you have blown this violation?
2. During the timeout discussion, the T freely admitted that he wasn't aware of time on the resumption of play but stated that his count had not reached 10.

If your answer is no you wouldn't have blown this violation from C or L, would you have blown it if the clock had gotten to 45:00?
