Here's my pre-game with the shot clock operator:
"Have you done this before?"
The answer is usually, "Oh about 1,000 times".
"Good, then you get the short version. There's only 4 times we reset the shot clock, ok?
1) Any change of possession. That includes a made basket.
2) Any time the ball hits the rim
on a shot. If it's not a shot, don't reset it.
3) Any foul, including any technical fouls.
4) Any kicked ball.
Ok? So if the ball gets batted OOB by the defense, there's no reset. If we have a held ball and the offense keeps the ball, there's no reset. Ok? Questions? Thanks."
I realize that there are a couple exceptions to what I say, but it would just confuse matters to bring them up.
