95% of violations are turn-overs, anyway, right? The only ones that would be questions would be if the defense tipped it out, or if the defense kicked the ball, right?
Jewel,
On a defensive kick, there is an exception.
Because it is "illegal" to kick the ball out-of-bounds, the shot clock is reset.
If the ball is "legally" deflected out-of-bounds, the clock is not rest.

Edit:
Actually, the kicked ball doesn't have to go out-of-bounds for a reset.

I did get that. My point was, why point out that the shot clock is re-set on a violation? Of course it is, since the ball is turned over. The kick and the deflection oob are the only defensive violations. The kick resets the shot clock, the tip doesn't.
