Thought I would throw this in: The shot-clock horn does not stop play unless recognized by an official’s whistle.
Say a player attempts a three point field goal from half court, and the shot clock horn sounds in mid flight. We wait to see if the ball hits the basket, or goes in. If it doesn't, does it make sense to give the ball to the other team at half court? So I say this situation should be handled with a throw in on the baseline. As the violation occurred when the ball did not hit the basket, or go in. Therefore nearest the spot would be the baseline. |

Anybody have a case play? I'm more confused now than when I originally asked the question :confused:

The violation is not for "failing to release a shot" but for "the ball not hitting the ring". So, the spot of the violation is the ring. |

What if the defense had deflected the ball into the backcourt such that the ball was in the backcourt paint. It doesn't seem correct that you'd make the throwin spot 75' from the location of the ball. The violation is for failing to release the shot such that it subsequently hits the rim. I think the logical place for the violation is the location of the ball....not the rim. Note, this is a logical POV, I've not investigated the actual rule yet. |
Backcourt heave with a second on the shot clock...ball fails to hit the rim. I'd venture to say that 999/1000 officials have the throw-in spot on the endline rather than in the backcourt.
This may be a case where it may be technically correct to put it where the shooter shot it (and I'm not convinced of even that) but by practice, you're wrong. |

Which takes us to the next part of this discussion. I've heard some philosophize not to blow it dead if the defense catches the ball. So we know anybody who believes in that philosophy doesn't consider the violation to have occurred while the ball is still in flight. |

In my searching for info, I came across the following for FIBA (highlighting mine)...
http://www.theeboa.com/tools/2010-20...renceChart.pdf Shot Clock There are a couple of statements that related to what we're discussing here. Sure, its FIBA, but I felt it still worth mentioning since FIBA has been making moves to be more like the various US rules. |

A team just has to release a try that hits the rim. If they never release the try, they've certainly not released a try that hit the rim. |
