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????

You're correct, which opens up a new judgement call to weather a ball striking the rim was a try for goal or not.
I assumed that it went both ways, i.e. if a shot that hits the rim resets the clock, then a ball hitting the rim equals a shot.. When you present that scenerio, it makes sense that a deflected ball hitting the rim isn't shot and thus means the clock wouldn't be reset.
California Shot Clock Rules:
The shot clock will be reset when:
Team control is established after the opponents lose possession of the ball.
The mere touching of the ball by an opponent does not reset the shot clock if the same team remains in control of the ball.
A foul occurs, exception: double foul, double technical, simultaneous foul.
A held ball occurs and the defense is awarded the ball through the alternating-possession arrow procedure.
A try for the goal is attempted and the ball hits the rim.
A violation occurs.
Most violations are by the offensive team causing a change of possession and the shot clock is reset.
The defense commits a violation by:
Kicking the ball.
Striking the ball with a fist.
Knocking the ball through the underside of the basket.
