Its official

[twocentsworth]

all of these exceptions/restrictions for the restricted-area rule, remind me of how the college basketball rules are so complex/needlessly confusing compared to NBA rules (simply compare the size of each rule book).

i.e. in the NBA, when the ball hits the rim, the shot clock is reset (no exceptions). In NCAA, the shot clock is only reset when a "shot" hits the rim (NOT a pass or deflection). So you have the judgement of each official and the shot clock operator come into play.
