Shot Clock Question ???

That same section also states that the shot clock is started upon "possession" in the case of an unsuccessful try for goal.

Many older shot clocks do not have the ability to "reset and hold" the timer after a scored goal until the ball is touched after the ensuing throw-in. In those cases, the operator needs to do a double reset. First reset, after the scored goal to keep a potential shot clock violation horn from sounding prior to the throw-in, and a second reset when the ball is legally touched inbounds after the throw-in.

I wonder if part of the difference has anything to do with the difference in team control during a throw-in.
