While studying for my test (which I just submitted and luckily passed),
I came across 2.10.3:

Art. 3... If in Article 1e the error is made while the clock is running and the ball dead, it must be recognized by an official before the second live ball.

When and why would the clock be running during a dead ball?

Thanks in advance!

The ball is dead after a made basket, until B has the ball OB again for the throw-in; all the while the clock is running.

The status of the ball (live / dead) and the staus of the clock (running / stopped) have nothing to do with each other.

You can have:

- live ball / running clock ("normal play")
- live ball / stopped clock (throw-in or FT)
- dead ball / running clock (after a basket)
- dead ball / stopped clock ("normal" stoppages)

So when the offense takes it in at the top of the key, does the clock start on the check or on the pass?

Duh. It starts when the pass after the check is legally touched.

You're not too good at all this rules stuff, are ya? ;)

Don't forget the jump ball in the live ball/stopped clock category. In fact, there are only three ways to get a dead ball live, and all three of them begin with a live ball and a stopped clock.
