ASAA Shot Clock Scenarios
January 4, 2019
Article 29 – 24 seconds. In all rebounding situations, the shot clock will be reset to 24 seconds. The ASAA does NOT reset the shot clock to 14 after an offensive team rebound off the rim.
NOTE: All other shot clock resets will be governed by the 2018 FIBA rule book outlined in section 29.2. All other 14 second instances for play in the new rules will apply as they occur after a stop in play.
Scenarios: (Team A is the offensive team and Team B is the defensive team)
1. The ball on a shot, whether a field goal or final free throw attempt not as a result of an unsportsmanlike foul or technical foul, hits the rim and is rebounded by either Team A or Team B.
a. The shot clock is reset to 24 seconds. This is a LIVE BALL rebound and an ASAA modification for all rebounding situations.
2. In all cases of regular free throw attempts that are not as a result of an unsportsmanlike foul or technical foul the shot clock should display 24 seconds.
a. Regardless of which team secures the live ball rebound off the rim for the final free throw the shot clock will remain at 24 seconds. This is a LIVE BALL rebound and an ASAA modification for all rebounding situations.
3. The ball on a shot by Team A whether a field goal or final free throw attempt not as a result of an unsportsmanlike foul or technical foul, hits the rim and touches or is touched by Team B which then goes out of bounds.
a. The game shall be resumed with a team A throw‐in from the place nearest to where the ball went out‐of‐bounds. The shot clock shall be reset to 14 seconds regardless of where on the playing court the throw‐in shall be administered. FIBA Interpretation 29/50‐37.
