Clock starts when?
On a free throw no one rebounds the basketball on a missed attempt and the ball hits the floor. Does the clock start when the ball hits the floor or when a player touches the ball?

When I chop it and not before!

If the timer cannot clearly see the start clock signal, the clock starts as soon as an inbounds player has the ball.
Thankfully after free throw attempts, most of the time the timer can visually see the official signal fot the clock to start. |

Just because the ball bounces off a player's back or chest, does not mean the ball's live. I've been told in those situations, that if I cannot see the start clock signal to make sure the player has control of the ball via dribble or hold. Generally use the same mechanics as would for shot clock.
