Shot Clock Re-set ?

It's not that simple. NCAA-M and NCAA-W have different rulings for this play so therefore any states using a shot clock for high school need to spell out how they want the play adjudicated:

A.R. 121. Player A1 attempts a try for goal and:
(2) After the try does not hit the ring or flange, it is simultaneously recovered by A2 and B2 for a held ball. The shot-clock horn does not sound.

RULING: (2) Since the shot-clock horn has not sounded, there is no violation.

(Men) When the try for goal was unsuccessful, the try ended. When there is no team control and a live ball is simultaneously recovered for a held ball, the alternating-possession arrow shall be used to resume play with a reset of the shot clock.

(Women) The alternating-possession arrow shall be used with no reset of the shot clock when the alternating-possession arrow favors the team who shot the ball.

(Rule 4-62, 9-11.1 and .2, 4-15.4.c, 6-3.1.a and 2-11.6.c)

BTW, I agree with the NCAA-W interpretation. If there were no held ball and Team A retained possession the shot clock wouldn't reset so I don't understand why the NCAA-M want a reset in the case of a held ball
