Question for my fellow FIBA officials

So a fairly common play is when a pass is deflected and it touches the rim. I've always advised shot clock operators in that situation not to reset the shot clock. For those of you who officiate FIBA, am I the only guy who didn't realize this or are some of you surprised as well?

It came with the last rule revision, in 2008.

Art. 50 Twenty-four second operator: Duties
The twenty-four second operator shall be provided with a twenty-four second device and operate it so that it shall be:
50.1 Started or restarted whenever a team gains control of a live ball on the playing court.
50.2 Stopped and reset to twenty-four (24) seconds, with no display visible, as soon as:
• An official blows his whistle for a foul or violation.
• The ball legally enters the basket.
• The ball touches the ring of the opponents' basket unless the ball lodges on the basket support.
...

As usual, one must recall that, in FIBA, a team tries to send the ball into their opponents' basket.
