A.R. 349. Near the end the first or second period or any overtime period, A1 is fouled in the act of shooting but before releasing the ball for a try. After the foul, the shot-clock horn sounds followed immediately by the release of the ball for a shot attempt and the sounding of the game-clock horn. A1’s try is:

1. Successful; or
2. Unsuccessful.

RULING 1: When a foul and a try for goal sequentially occur at the expiration of time on the shot clock, the official shall use the monitor to determine whether the foul and try occurred before the sounding of the shot-clock horn. When it is determined that the foul occurred before the expiration of the shot clock but the try was not released before the sounding of the shot-clock horn, the foul shall be penalized. With the use of the monitor, the official shall be permitted to put the exact time on the game clock when the foul occurred. When the officials determine that time should be put back on the game clock, the shot-clock horn should never have sounded and the goal shall count.

2: The official shall use the monitor to determine whether the foul occurred before the expiration of time on the shot clock. When it is determined that the foul occurred before the expiration of the shot clock, the foul shall be penalized. When it can be determined, the official shall be permitted to put back on the game clock the time which elapsed since the foul occurred.

NOTE: When this play situation occurs at any other time during the game, the shot-clock violation would preclude the counting of the basket. The shooter would be awarded two free throws.

So basically, in NCAAM, if near the end of a period (which is kind of subjective, but I digress) and there’s a monitor, we nuke this out. Otherwise, no basket, award 2FT. Is that how to read this?

Interesting that NCAAM would go out of its way not to allow for any definite time knowledge on the part of the crew with whistle vis-a-vis clock.

Anyone know of any related NFHS case or interp? Or does this represent a clarity gap in the infancy of its shot clock era?
