Rule
29.1.1.

Whenever:

  • A player gains control of a live ball on the court,
  • On a throw-in, the ball touches or is legally touched by any player on the court and the team of that player taking the throw-in remains in control of the ball,

that team must attempt a shot for a field goal within 24 seconds.

To constitute a shot for a goal within 24 seconds:

  • The ball must leave the player's hand(s) before the shot clock signal sounds, and
  • After the ball has left the player's hand(s), the ball must touch the ring or enter the basket.
29.1.2.

When a shot for a goal is attempted near the end of the shot clock period and the shot clock signal sounds while the ball is in the air:

• If the ball enters the basket, no violation has occurred, the signal shall be disregarded and the goal shall count.

• If the ball touches the ring but does not enter the basket, no violation has occurred, the signal shall be disregarded and the game shall continue.

• If the ball misses the ring, a violation has occurred. However, if the opponents gain immediate and clear control of the ball, the signal shall be disregarded and the game shall continue.

When the backboard is equipped with yellow lighting along its perimeter at the top, the lighting takes precedence over the shot clock signal sound.

All restrictions related to goaltending and interference shall apply.

Procedure
29.2.1.

After a jump ball or after a throw-in from the centre line at the start of a quarter other than the first quarter or overtime, if a player gains control of a live ball on the court, regardless whether in the backcourt or frontcourt, the shot clock shall be started with 24 seconds.

29.2.2.

The shot clock shall be reset whenever the game is stopped by a referee:

• For a foul or violation (not for the ball having been caused to go out-of-bounds) by the team not in control of the ball,

• For any valid reason caused by the team not in control of the ball,

• For any valid reason not caused with either team.

In these situations, the possession of the ball shall be awarded to the same team that previously had control of the ball. If the throw-in is then administered in that team’s:

• Backcourt, the shot clock shall be reset to 24 seconds.

• Frontcourt, the shot clock shall be reset as follows:

   ▬ If 14 seconds or more are displayed on the shot clock at the time when the game was stopped, the shot clock shall not be reset, but shall continue from the time it was stopped.

   ▬ If 13 seconds or less are displayed on the shot clock at the time when the game was stopped, the shot clock shall be reset to 14 seconds.

However, if the game is stopped by a referee for any valid reason not connected with either team and, in the judgement of a referee, the reset of the shot clock would place the opponents at a disadvantage, the shot clock shall continue from the time it was stopped.

29.2.3.

The shot clock shall be reset whenever a throw-in is awarded to the opponents’ team after the game is stopped by a referee for a foul or violation (including for the ball having been caused to go out-of-bounds) by the team in control of the ball.

The shot clock shall also be reset if the new offensive team is awarded a throw-in according to the alternating possession procedure.

If the throw-in is then administered in that team’s:

• Backcourt, the shot clock shall be reset to a new 24 seconds.

• Frontcourt, the shot clock shall be reset to 14 seconds.

29.2.4.
03

Whenever the game is stopped by a referee for a technical foul committed by the team in control of the ball, the game shall be resumed with a throw-in from the place nearest to where the game was stopped. The shot clock shall not be reset but shall continue from the time it was stopped.

29.2.5.

When the game clock shows 2:00 minutes or less in the fourth quarter or overtime, following a time-out taken by the team that is entitled to the possession of the ball from its backcourt, the coach of that team has the right to decide whether the game shall be resumed with a throw-in from the throw-in line in the team’s frontcourt or from the team’s backcourt at the place nearest to where the game was stopped.

After the time-out, the throw-in shall be administered as follows:

• If as a result of the ball having gone out-of-bounds and if it is in the team's:

   ▬ Backcourt, the shot clock shall continue from the time it was stopped.

   ▬ Frontcourt: If the shot clock shows 13 seconds or less it shall continue from the time it was stopped. If the shot clock shows 14 seconds or more, it shall be reset to 14 seconds.

• If as a result of a foul or violation (not for the ball having gone out-of-bounds) and if it is in the team's:

   ▬ Backcourt, the shot clock shall be reset to 24 seconds.

   ▬ Frontcourt, the shot clock shall be reset to 14 seconds.

• If the time-out is taken by the team which has a new control of the ball, and if it is in the team's:

   ▬ Backcourt, the shot clock shall be reset to 24 seconds.

   ▬ Frontcourt, the shot clock shall be reset to 14 seconds.

29.2.6.

When the team is awarded a throw-in from the throw-in line in the team’s frontcourt as part of the penalty for an unsportsmanlike or disqualifying foul, the shot clock shall be reset to 14 seconds.

29.2.7.

After the ball has touched the ring of the opponents’ basket, the shot clock shall be reset to:

• 24 seconds, if the opponents’ team gains control of the ball.

• 14 seconds, if the team which regains control of the ball is the same team that was in control of the ball before the ball touched the ring.

29.2.8.

If the shot clock signal sounds in error while a team has control of the ball or neither team has control of the ball, the signal shall be disregarded, and the game shall continue.

However, if in the judgement of a referee, the team in control of the ball has been placed at a disadvantage, the game shall be stopped, the shot clock shall be correc-ted and possession of the ball shall be awarded to that team.
