I did let them know that they should probably have notified me 11 hours earlier.
Was your day prior an X day or a reserve day? If it was an X day then you are required to check your schedule (in iCrew or by phone) after 1500 base time. So you would have been wrong to not acknowledge it in iCrew. If the day prior was an on call day, then it is up to scheduling to notify you - it would have been in your rights to turn down that SC assignment.
By the way - they have to give you 10 hours notification prior to SC, not 12, so they would not have had to notify you 11 hours earlier - just 9.
