Utah/Denver Shot Clock Violation

[Mark Padgett]

Here's the NBE rule:

"If, in the opinion of the head official, the opposing team has a shooter who is considered a league superstar, the clock will be reset to whatever time the officials feel the superstar would need to get off a shot and thrill the fans. The actual time left on the clock must be at least doubled. If the game is nationally televised, the time left must be tripled. If the opposing team is in last place in their division, is the visiting team, is from a small market - and the game is not televised, the officials are to leave the court immediately and ignore the clocks."
