NCAA Shot Clock
Play: White #15 feels at 5' 10" he can dunk among trees. He goes up in the lane and is rejected by the front of the rim. The ball does NOT leave his hands on the dunk attempt. The shot clock is at 2 seconds. He subsequently returns to the court still in player-control.
Decision: Shot clock reset? Travel? What say you? |
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):

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 Quote:

The play is no different than "Player rises for jump shot, sees the ball will be block, keeps holding the ball and lands." |

In practice, 99% of the time it will be a held ball. |
NCAAW:
A dunk is a try for goal according to Rule 5-1.6 The shot clock is stopped and reset when a try for goal strikes the ring according to Rule 2-11.6d So, reset the shot clock It cannot be a travel because player control is lost when there is try for goal, therefore the player can recover the shot attempt and resume normal activities. |
NCAA 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. Note that a shot-clock try for goal is different than try for goal. |

NCAAW 4-9 says team control continues until the ball is in flight during a try... I don't see any exceptions in Travelling related to a try. |

I don't personally like the rule/ruling on this, because it defies common sense (at least in my thinking), but iiwis. |

Whether he did it on purpose or not, it made me laugh. |
Okay, upon further review, I change my ruling from reset shot clock per rulings based on Rule 4-9.3 and Rule 9-12.2 to traveling as the ball did not leave the player's hand for a try or pass before the pivot foot returns to the floor.

The answer is...
Since I believe in getting the answer from the source – and I also don’t mind if I’m wrong :o – here’s the interpretation NCAAM S-RE Art Hyland (I figured it didn’t make sense to go to my S-RE since Brittany Griner is now in the WNBA):
1. The shot clock would not be reset because the ball never left the shooter’s hand which is a requirement under Rule 9-12.2. 2. If the shooter maintained control of the ball when the attempt is blocked by the rim, it would be traveling if he then returned to the floor with the ball. See Rule 9-6.5. If he lost control, it would be a legal play. He did say he liked my thinking so at least I get a gold star for that :) |
