This is obviously another difference with FIBA - the 3 second count restarts when a shot is attempted. The referee makes a judgement on whether a throw is an attempt or not, it doesn't matter if it hits the ring (although it must hit the ring to restart the shot clock).

Woops....should have read the other posts first........
