Michigan v. Kansas

[Jay R]

Late in the overtime, the talking heads were making a big deal about stopping play to check the time when neither team had a time out left. I can why the officials want to check and not be criticized later. Having said that, Michigan got the ball with 45.0 seconds left in the game. A shot clock violation occurred, do you really need to check the monitor? In the NBA, the officials would have told the operator to put 10.0 seconds on the clock, it would have taken 2 seconds to do so.

The NBA rule regarding timing and the shot clock is different then college. NBA doesn't allow a team to use waste more than 24 seconds if they commit a shot clock violation...even if when the whistle is blown, more than 24 have elapsed. You'll see officials correct this throughout a game if applicable. Then again, if NCAA would spring the money for PTS, no need for this.

The shot must be released before the clock expires, but it's not a violation until the ball doesn't hit the rim. So, the actual time elapsed could be more than 35 seconds. Here, 35.6 seconds, apparently.

Now, if the shot wasn't off in time, then you'd be right - just reset the clock.
