That's an official interpretation given one year ago and now it is in article 50.2.
They justified it by saying that the ball should either enter the basket or touch the rim
remaining live. I don't know why, since article 29.1.1 says
Quote:
Whenever a player gains control of a live ball on the playing court, his team must attempt a shot for a field goal within twenty-four seconds. To constitute a shot for a field goal within twenty-four seconds:- the ball must leave the player's hands before the twenty-four second device signal sounds, and
- after the ball has left the player's hands, the ball must touch the ring or enter the basket.

Under this FIBA interpretation, when the ball lodges and the AP arrow favors the shooting team, the clock is not reset. If the buzzer sounds with the try in flight and the ball lodges it is a shot clock violation.
