Clock/Last Night's Lakers Game

[rulesmaven]

"Are you sure there's an ncaa 5.9.10."

Pretty sure, although I think it's cited "5-9.10." (Rule 5, section 9, article 10.)

"The game clock and shot clock, if running, shall be stopped when an official . . . [r]ecognizes each successful field goal in the last 59.9 seconds of the second half or any extra period . . . "

If you tell me that "the clock is stopped on a made field goal," I have no reason to doubt you. But saying "when the official recognizes" is a cumbersome way to express that thought.

oops, you're right, I screwed up.

If you look under rule 2-12-11 you'll see when the scorer needs to stop the clock. You'll see he doesn't need to wait for the floor official to tell him to stop it.

Got it. Thanks.

Interesting. Aren't NCAA and high school rules that the clock stops when the successful goal is "recognized," which is different from the NBA rule if it really is when the basket is "successful."

The "recognized" is just for semantics - stating that it is the timer who has the primary jurisdiction to stop the clock without the whistle. (The timer can't recognize any of the other situations.)

In NCAA review, you put the time back on the clock of when the basket was made.

And Mark, let's also point out that in high school the clock doesn't stop on the made basket at all.
