I wasn't there so I have no idea how far out the ball was or was not. However, if it was as far out as people have made it seem, including the op, then that's a time when the official should just mention to the player that you're supposed to signal the ball was out. A simple warning should suffice. I mean pros get a time violation warning before incurring a point penalty for going over the allotted time every now and again.
