Stupid Question ...

Unless it was after a dead ball, time out situation, like after a violation. In theory, the ball could bounce around forever. Time hasn't been chopped in. Ten second count hasn't started.

This was actually a question on an IAABO Refresher Exam many years ago. Stupidest question ever written. I've spent a lot of time looking for the actual question in my archives, but haven't been successful. Can any veteran IAABO members help me out on this.

Actually it tied for first as the stoopidest IAABO question ever with 12,365 other questions.

But would the shot clock expire first? Or does that not reset until it's touched on the floor?

The shot clock doesn't start until the ball touches or is touched by a player inbounds.

The shot clock starts on a touch; It should be reset on the made basket

I hope that they at least didn't allow any subs in after he blew the whistle to incorrectly tell you to stop the clock. :)

Thankfully there were no subs at the table. Otherwise, we may have had about a 3-minute discussion on national TV.

A perfect time for commercials! I agree that long delays on national TV are not good.
