When inbounding the ball, can you legally just shoot the ball without someone on the court touching it first? I thought "No, because the clock doesn't start until the ball is touched by the pass receiver inbounds."
However, there's a running clock in this league, so the clock continues to run even when a ball is taken out of bounds. My guess is still that you must pass the ball to a player inbounds and then she can shoot, right?

The clock isn't relevant here. People score all the time with the clock stopped. It's a throwin violation, however, as Mick points out so briefly.
