Re: SHOT CLOCK ANSWER
 

That's the same answer as rainmaker and Dan gave a couple of days ago here and I gave on another boards.

Just goes to show that great minds think alike!

Re: Re: SHOT CLOCK ANSWER
 

Am I missing something here, Bob? Neither you, Dan or Juulie said that they could also add a second of lag time, did you?

Re: Re: Re: SHOT CLOCK ANSWER
 

Good point. I missed that little detail. I'm wondering if Peter Webb is saying that we should (a) subtract elapsed time and also subtract another second for lag time, or (2) calculate elapsed time less one second and then subtract that result. The first would be asinine. The second might feel like the common sense thing to do for some folks. But if the ref has been counting and then subtracts the amount she counted out until the ball was in frontcourt, there should be no need to consider lag time, should there?

[/B][/QUOTE]Juulie, as far as I know, there is NEVER any lag time allowed under NCAA rules. That part of Peter Webb's interpretation is wrong. I'm still trying to figure out exactly who gave out this interpretation anyway. Ed Bilik is on the NCAA rules committee, and therefore can give out NCAA interpretations. IAABO interpreters cannot give out a binding interpretation, whether that interpretation involves either the NCAA or NFHS rulesets or not. IAABO can give out their "opinion" on what the call should be, but their opinion basically doesn't have any more real value than your opinion or mine does- which is nada, zip,etc.

No, and I didn't see that in the iaabbo interp either, the first time i read through it.

As a side note, make sure you check the game clock, too - some systems are tied together; some aren't.

Shot Clock Update
 

Additional information, "Last season, a rule change was implemented that did
not require the reset of the shot clock if it showed 15 or more seconds
remaining. If 15 or fewer seconds remained, the shot clock was set to 15.
To avoid confusion, the rule will now state that if 14 or fewer seconds
remain on the shot clock, it will be set to 15 seconds." This is found or
BR15 (NCAA Rules Book). - MTBABO
