1. Correct
2. Correct
3. Yes, for California HS basketball. The rationale is that neither team was in control when the held ball occurred, so a full reset is given for whichever team is awarded the ball via the AP arrow.

NCAAW (and, I'm reasonably certain, NCAAM) (emphasis added):

Art. 7.
Stop the timing device and continue time without a reset when play
begins under the following circumstances:



i.
After a simultaneous held ball as described in Rule 6-4.2 occurs during
a throw-in or after an unsuccessful try that does not contact the ring or
flange and the alternating-possession arrow favors the team whose try

Do you know where I can read the official California interpretation? Seems like the consensus is that the national rules would not have the shot clock reset. Thanks!

The CIF publishes a rules modification document. It includes several case situations with rulings. This is one of them. I'll have to search for a link after I finish games tonight.

Once you gave me an idea of what to search for I found this document dated October 2009 (http://basketballofficials.tripod.co...Mods_10_09.pdf). The modification you said is quoted below and about half way down page 5.

"Shot blocked by B1, simultaneously recovered by B2 and A2 for a held ball = alternating- possession arrow, new shot clock."

If you can find a more updated document I'd be grateful. Thanks for your help.
