I recently had the pleasure of meeting Art Hyland. I presented him with this question, and before I could finish the question, he was nodding his head, obviously having heard it several times before.

His answer, paraphrased (but pretty close):

"The rules committee has not done a good job of being clear about that. But we've always put it in play at the spot closest to where the shot was taken."

I assume the "we" in that statement is Big East officials, but I didn't feel like I should take more of his time.

So according to the NCAA-M Rules Editor. . . I'm right. :D

So is some guy from Nevada who wrote post #7, which you agreed with in post #9. :)

I can think of 3-4 more rules/mechanics that could get this same answer.

Credit where credit is due :)

That all sounds great, but if that is how they feel they need to put that in their casebook, because I have never seen a single shot clock violation (from outside the 3 point line) ever put at the spot of the shot. And the way the NCAA Men's Committee seems to get on officials for not applying rules properly, they should address this somewhere if Mr. Hyland feels that way.

Peace

I agree completely, and it sounded to me as though Mr. Hyland does, too. It's probably just one of those things that nobody thinks is really that big a deal so other things get addressed first, and it always gets put off.

I agree as well. In my conferences it has always been the location where the shot missed. In other words where it came down, approximately.
