My understanding is that in cases where a separate state-only rule, like shot clock rules, is being implemented, the governing rules body of that state can implement any rule that they want to. They can go with NCAA or FIBA rules, modify either of those rules, or simply make up their own. And if IAABO has been designated as the governing rules body by any individual state that wants to enact a shot clock, then it is up to IAABO to implement the rules that they want to.
I believe that's true for New York girls, California and any other states that use shot clock rules in high school too. The individual state governing rules body just puts in what they want to.
If I'm wrong, maybe someone from one of those states can correct me.
