While I don't work shot clock games, I thought I recalled that the interpretation was that the shot clock is only reset when the ball hits the rim on a try....not that a ball that hits the rim is a try. I seem to remember seeing a NCAA game where a deflected ball hit the rim shortly before going OOB. The offensive team wanted a shot clock reset, the officials talked to the coach, and there was no reset of the clock. Not definitive but I'm curious to know????
