Question

I'm a high school ref in CA and we use the shot clock for both boys and girls games. A question came up at dinner on Friday night with some officials that I was hoping you all could help with.

When is the shot clock supposed to start on a throw in? Since the High school rule book doesn't specifically address the shot clock, it is my understanding that we use the mens college rules for this. With some research we found that the college rule calls for the shot clock and game clock to start when the ball is first touched on an inbound. However, in college, there is team control on a throw in while in high school, team control does not exist until someone gains possession.

So here is my dilemna, do we start the shot clock on Team A when they don't yet have the ball from a throw in but the pass was tipped by team B? If so, that means that the shot clock could run out before they gain possession if there was only a second or two on the shot clock and they would be charged with a violation while not having team control.

Thanks for you help!
