by rule (NCAA-M), the shot clock would only reset when the ball hits the rim during a shot or a basket is scored. in the OP, you have neither...the shot clock should not be reset.

now, in reality, the shot clock will be reset and the game will continue and nobody will stop the game to correct the clock.

too often when A1 throws an alley-oop pass that hits the rim or whenever the ball hits the rim and it is not a shot attempt...the clock gets reset and the game continues...

in NCAA-M the rule requires the shot clock operator to judge whether a legal shot attempt occurred (then reset when hits rim) or not (no reset even if ball hits the rim).

they should change this rule to NBA rule which is simple...ball hits rim (no matter how - shot, pass, deflection, etc.) = shot clock reset.
