What do you do if there is a double foul and the ball remains with the offense? Reset the clock? Or not?

The IAABO rule does not cover this. It says to reset on a pesonal foul, but is silent about a double foul. The NCAA says not to reset.

Massachusetts uses a shot clock, but the rule is too vague. This is the entire rule:

"The 30-second shot clock will be utilized at all levels in both boys and girls games."

It does not reference the NCAA rule, although historically that was the basis for the shot clock rules. The IAABO shot clock rules used to be posted on the MIAA Web site. But a footnote in the official MIAA handbook referred to a different set of shot clock rules, which mirrored the NCAA rules (and included the double foul rule) with one exception -- there is a reset on all kick balls.

I think IAABO needs to update its instruction sheet.
