Rule 7 CB Questions

Question 1

Player A1scores a field goal with 31s remaining. B2 takes a FGA with1s on the shot clock that does not touch the basket ring. A1 secures possession of the ball and calls a timeout with 5s on the game clock. What is the procedure regarding the amount of time remaining?

Answer 1

Officials shall direct the clock operator to reset the game clock to 7s. When the 24 second clock shows “0” and the field gold attempt fails to touch the basket ring, a 24 second violation has occurred.
