Stoppage to reset shot clock

So, if it hit the rim prior to touching any player direct from inbounding, it could not be considered a try and would have no impact on the shot clock. Had it gone through the basket there would be no score.

Do the NCAA rules significantly differ on this scenario? Or have I just read all these posts and confused the hell out of myself.

Rich....the OP was not about a throw-in. It was just a cross-court skip pass (the kind that usually make most coaches cringe).

Other than that, your assessment is correct. The shot clock would not start until the same time the game clock started, i.e. when the ball is legally touched. If a throw-in hit the rim before being touched by a player, that's not a violation in and of itself; the clocks merely start when the ball is legally touched. It would be a throw-in violation if the thrown ball entered the basket, got lodged, or came to rest on the flange. After seven years, I have yet to see this violation occur!

Incidentally, these particular ways to commit a throw-in violation are the same regardless of NFHS or NCAA rulesets.
