Just looking through the NCAA rules.
There is a difference between NCAA and Pro rules when it comes to a period ending on a shot clock violation.
IN the NCAA, the situation is given where a 2 second difference is given between the game clock and the shot clock. The shot is released and then the buzzer sounds, the ball does not hit the rim. however the official's whistle does not sound until the game clock buzzer sounds. In NCAA, the period is over, and the shot clock is not reset, even though there was a violation. In the WNBA, we would put two seconds back on the clock. To me the NCAA rule doesn't make sense.
I mean, they are basically saying that there is no violation
until it is noticed by the official.
Any thoughts?
