When Does Clock Start-FT?
 

A1 shoots 2nd FT and the ball bounces off the rim and hits the floor. There is a delay before any player touches the ball because of where the ball landed.

Do you wait until a player touches the ball before starting the clock?

Yes, the ball must be legally touched to start the clock again.

Peace

What choices do you think there are?

Maybe when it is apparent that the FT is missed. Thought of not required to wait to start clock until legally touched by a player.

Have you checked the rule book under Duties of the Timer?

The clock starts when the ball is legally touched inbounds.

The clock stops when the whistle blows.

It's not that hard.

Think Bob hit the rule in its most basic form.

What the difference on a throw in that offense doesn’t touch the ball as it rolls up court in an effort to conserve time?

Although not completely relevant to this situation, I'm amazed at how many officials do not know when to chop the clock on the opening jump ball.
