Broached ...
Shot Clock – State Association Adoption
If using the shot clock to administer the 10-second backcourt count, the 10-second count begins when the ball touches or is legally touched by a player in the backcourt. If the ball is not cleanly caught by a player on the court, the team in control will get the remaining first 10-seconds of the shot clock to exit the backcourt.
Nice to see that the NFHS has, at least, broached the topic of the rule mis-match.
Not sure that the sentence in red did us any favors.
A team could possibly never be "in control", with a ball not being "cleanly caught" and pin-balling around in the backcourt for ten seconds, with said team subsequently being called for a ten second violation as the shot clock winds down to 25 seconds.
First sentence as a stand alone (if-then statement) should have been enough to broach the subject.
If using the shot clock to administer the 10-second backcourt count, (then) the 10-second count begins when the ball touches or is legally touched by a player in the backcourt.
No need for the second sentence.
