NCAAM shot clock violation rule request

[Jay R]

In the women’s final, Stanford started a possession with 36.6 left in the game. They never got off a shot before the shot clock elapsed. The clock showed 5.5 left. I’m thinking they’re going to put 6.6 seconds on the clock. Instead they go to the monitor and put 6.1. I work FIBA so I do not claim to know NCAA rules, but this doesn’t seem right.

If your facts (starting possession at 36.6) are correct, then your conclusion is correct.

I tuned in during the last possession, and based on the clocks on the screen, I agree that the clock was set to low -- but I also recognize that the clocks on the screen might not be correct.

I had a question about the shot clock on the F1. It occured very close to mid court.

Free throws and the ball. Does the shot clock reset to 20 or 30 or is it dependant on if the ball is being taken out of bounds in the front court or back court?

I didn't see the game, but this c-n-p from the rules book might help:

b. Reset to 30 seconds when the following occurs:
1. There is a change in team control and the ball remains live or after a
score by the opponent;
2. Team control is re-established in the backcourt after the team loses
control of the ball;
Note: The mere touching of the ball does not start a new shot-clock period
when the same team remains in control of the ball as in loose ball situations.
3. A held ball occurs or any other situation occurs where the alternatingpossession
arrow must be used to determine team possession and the
alternating possession arrow favors the defense for a throw-in in the
backcourt;
4. A try for goal strikes the ring or flange and control is gained by the nonshooting
team;
5. A single personal or technical foul is assessed to the defensive team while
the ball is in control of the offensive team in the backcourt;
6. A double personal foul when only one of the fouls is flagrant and it
is assessed against the offense in their front court and the defense is
awarded the ball for a throw-in in their backcourt. If the flagrant foul
is assessed against the defense, the shot clock should be reset per Rule
2-11.6.c.1;
7. A violation occurs, except as in Rules 2-11.6.a.1 and .2 and the defense
is awarded the ball for a throw-in in the backcourt. If the throw-in is in
the front court, the shot clock shall be reset per Rule 2-11.6.d.6; or
8. An inadvertent whistle occurs when there was no player or team control
at the time of the whistle and the alternating-possession arrow favors
either team for a throw-in in the backcourt.
c. Reset to 20 seconds or the time remaining (whichever is greater) when the
following occurs:
1. A personal or technical foul is assessed to the defensive team and the ball
is to be inbounded in the front court;
2. When a kicking the ball/fisting violation is committed by the defense
and the ball is to be inbounded in the front court or backcourt;
Note: This rule applies only when the foul or violation in 1 or 2 above
occurs prior to a try for goal which hits the ring or flange.
3. An inadvertent whistle occurs when there was no player or team control
at the time of the whistle and the alternating-possession arrow favors
either team for a throw-in in the front court.
