shot clock restart, hit rim

[mutantducky]

Hmm, well I saw the refs miss that one then but I really can't blame them for it. Table got it right. maybe not on purpose

Let me guess... you were on the table?

Did they bat it toward their own rim, or toward the other team's rim? If it was toward their own rim, I would want it reset as a bat can be considered a try. If it was at the rim they were defending, then it can not be a shot attempt and the clock would not reset.

nah wasn't at the table. It was a pass inside to the post with the off. and def players' hands in the air and the ball got batted by both players back toward the rim. Off player had his back to the basket. Wasn't a shot attempt but as I said can't blame the refs for that one as their was some confusion. Ball clearly hit the rim and the shot clock horn went off but the refs let the play go on and the horn was ignored.

According to the NFHS rules there was no reason to stop play.

Just because a bat can be try doesn't mean that this one was a try. The NCAA rules clearly state that the shot clock resets when a TRY strikes the ring or flange. You have to judge whether the tap/bat was a try or part of rebounding action or just two knuckleheads who didn't realize they were on the same team. (I know you know all that already, too.)

The original sitch sounds to me like it was not a try, but I didn't see it obviously.

the Off players back to the rim is irrelivant _ based on this description I think they got it right since the shot clock was running down and an offensive player batted the ball to the rim I am not going to call a violation if the ball hit the rim - it could have been a tip play. I'll go with the officials on this one.

It changes in the above description and I think you would then change your mind.

Offensive player with his back to the basket, loose ball being contested by the defense, swatted back at the basket. I find it very unlikely that this is a try.
