Saw a funny situation tonight in a WNBA game which I was unfortunate enough to see (unfortunate because the Portland Fire played horribly and got creamed). New York had the ball. Fire player reached in and got ahold -- good clean play, no foul. Ref called jump ball. I thought he waited way too long to blow, but oh, well. New York's shot clock was at 8 seconds. Shot clock never re-set. New York got possession after the jump and couldn't get a shot off in the 8 seconds, and got a shot clock violation. New York coach didn't scream, players didn't scream, so I'm assuming this was the correct procedure, but it struck me odd.

Eli or Drake, any comments?

Is this correct in other levels that play with a shot clock?
