Shot Clock Faliure
Hey everybody,
I have a interesting question! In California we are required to use a shot clock. We were the visiting team and the host school's shot clock failed so they ended up using a shot clock that was visible only to the table. They would count down at 15,10,5 and then down. My questions are as follows: Pt.1-In a situation where the shot clock fails and an emergency device is used does said device have to be visible for the officials to assure that it is being operated properly (I.E.-Resets,Stops,Starts)? Pt.2-While using the emergency device what is the proper procedure for handling said countdown if any exists? Did the officials handle this situation correctly? Thank You for your help, SCalscorekeeper |

I do not think anyone can answer your question unless they are from your state. There is no nationwide procedure, considering that the NF does not use such a rule in place so nothing we could answer as a general rule. I am not even sure what the college rule is on this because I do not believe there is a hard fast rule.
Peace

In the one or two college games that I've seen where this has happened, they handled it just as you described.

I would have done it just they way you describe... NBA does not allow for only one clock, if the clock goes down it goes to the table...
Dont see anything in the NCAA book as a guideline... Like I said sounds like a good job to me. |

My JuCo supervisor put out a bulletin stating that if one or both of the shot clocks go down then a timing device is to be used at the table.

I worked two national tournaments back in 1999 and 2000 and when the clock failed (yes, it happened each year), we handled it in the exact same way.

I worked in SoCal for a season and had this happen twice-both times we handled it exactly the way the officials at your game did.
I did have a college game (D3) where only one of the shot clocks was working, we played with only the one shot clock. |
