Shot clock NCAA women's
 

Just trying to understand the shot clock rule a little better. Ona throw in, does the shot clock start with any legal touch of the ball or does their have to be team possession as well? Does it matter which team touches the ball to startt he chot clock?
This is different than the HS back court rule clunt rule where the game clock starts with the touch but the 10 second count starts with team possession in bounds. Thanks. Below is the rule for reference.

Art. 3. The shot clock shall be started when:

a. An inbounds player legally touches the ball on a throw-in;

b. A team gains initial possession following a jump ball or unsuccessful try for goal; or

c. There is a change of team control.

Any legal touch by either team.

I'm sure you've noted the inconsistency in HS, with many officials starting the backcourt count on the touch.

Not really. The inconsistency that I have found in H.S. is that the game officials do not start the backcourt count correctly when that ball has gone from a team's front court to its backcourt without a change of possession.

I see both, probably because the last few years I've been very involved with mentoring mostly new/less experienced officials, who bring misconceptions with them.
Interestingly, I've never seen a coach object to either. I have seen a coach object to the official starting the backcourt count correctly, in the situation you noted.
