new to the shot clock

a kicked ball, ball struck with a fist, injured player on the defence (including lost contact lens) are all shot clock resets. I was trying to keep it as simple as possible for moose seeing as he's never worked with a shot clock.

Basically they only times that the shot clock will not reset and the offence keeps the ball is if...
- the defence knocks the ball out of bounds
- there is an AP situation and the offence keeps the ball
- there is a timeout called
- the offence is assessed a Technical Foul.

There are a couple of more cases where the team is control keeps the ball but does not get a reset on the clock (i.e. double foul) but I think that these are the 4 ones to remember.

Is an injured player (or lost contact lens) a reset now? I was not aware of this. I officiated HS ball in CA up until about 3 years ago and we used a shot clock (30 secs. for boys/35 secs. for girls). The above were not resets in CA at the HS level at that time. I also did some college ball at Div II & III and Juco levels. The above were not resets at these levels either. Is this a regional thing? Has there been a rule change with respect to shot clocks? I now officiate in TX and we do not use shot clocks in HS. I only know of the following 4 reset reasons...

1. Intentional kick
2. Hit with fist
3. Foul
4. Shot hits rim

Sure could use some updated info. Thanks.
