Section 11. Shot Clock
Art. 1. The team in control shall attempt a try for field goal within 35 seconds for men and within 30 seconds for women after any player on the playing court legally touches or is touched by the ball on a throw-in or when a team initially gains possession of the ball from a jump ball, an unsuccessful try for field goal or a loose ball.
The above is the NCAA rule. It makes it clear that you need to reset the shot clock when a team initially gains possession after rebounding an unsuccessful try for goal so that this team gets its full 30 or 35 seconds.
Most shot clock operators hit AND HOLD the button when the try hits the ring. They only release the button once a team gains possession. That avoids having to reset the clock twice.
Just remember to start the shot clock on any touch when play resumes with a throw-in, in this case control is not required.
