Stoppage to reset shot clock

[BDevil15]

I was a spectator and had absolutely nothing approaching mild interest in the outcome of the game... As I said, curious situation and wondered if a majority of the professionals would have done the same. There isn't even a shot clock where I coach.

Coach, at a juco game, I can assure you that the officials were certainly not professionals (at least, not in the sense of "this is my only job")... in fact, it's entirely possible that they weren't paid enough to cover their travel expenses.

Very few of us will ever end up at a level where this can be our only means of income.

Just something to think about...

Bob Jenkins gave you an excellent answer as did the poster who noted that a pass which strikes the ring does not cause a shot clock reset, it must be a try for goal. Please don't let one or two unfriendly posters chase you away from learning more about the game on this site. There are many excellent people on here who can help you and answer your questions with class.

An excellent point. JC ball was $100 per game and a 90-mile trip each way when I was working that level.
