NCAA Shot Clock

[JetMetFan]

From what I’m finding in the NCAAW rule book here are the relevant citations (if they’re the same on the NCAAM side of the ledger I’d appreciate it if you guys could confirm):

(5-1-1) A try for field goal is an attempt by a player to score two or three points by throwing or tapping the ball into her basket.

(5-1-6) A dunk is a try for goal that occurs when any player gains control of a ball that is neither in the cylinder nor on the ring and then attempts to drive, force or stuff the ball through the basket.

(5-1-10) The try starts when the player begins the motion that normally precedes the release of the ball on a try. The ball does not need to leave the player’s hand. The arm might be held so that the player cannot throw; however, she may be making an attempt.

(9-12-2) A shot-clock try for field goal is defined as the ball having left the shooter’s hand(s) before the sounding of the shot-clock horn and then striking the ring or flange, or entering the basket.

(9-12-4) It is a violation when a try for field goal does not leave the shooter’s hand before the expiration of the allotted shot-clock time (as indicated by the sounding of the shot-clock horn) or when it does leave the shooter’s hand before the expiration of the allotted shot-clock time and the try does not subsequently strike the ring or flange or enter the basket.

So it appears you have a try but you don’t have a shot-clock try, meaning you can’t have a travel but the shot-clock wouldn’t reset. A1 would have two seconds for a shot-clock try before committing a violation. Essentially the rules treat this scenario as an air ball.

Off of memory, it looks the same.

5-1-10: Deals with a foul. Under the play in question a foul did not prevent the release...but the rim did (embarrassing for the player)

5-1-6: States a dunk is a try, which we know. In the play, a dunk was attempted. However, unlike a NORMAL shot or dunk, player control was not lost. Does the lack of losing player-control void the attempt?

Craziest play I have ever seen...and to top it off a similar play was on the NCAA test
