Imagine this play: A1 takes a shot. It's an airball. A1 runs under it and catches it. Now you've got half the gym yelling that the shot clock shouldn't be reset (that's what they're used to seeing) and the other half yelling for a travel. This should be fun.

It does have to hit the rim, just a little confusion when the ruling came out.

A lot of people complaining, but I think it's a good thing. If you can't get a shot in 35 sec, give up the ball!

It's a SNL thing.

One more thing on the shot clock

Posted by Tom Wyrwich
To correct a misinterpretation from the WIAA amendment in yesterday's post, the boys shot clock will be reset when the ball hits the rim, just as it is in girls basketball and men's college and professional basketball.

Boy it doesn't take us long to get all excited about nothing it appears.
