Heading: Shot clock     Sub Heading: Rule

"When a shot for a goal is attempted near the end of the shot clock period and the shot clock signal sounds while the ball is in the air:

• If the ball enters the basket, no violation has occurred, the signal shall be disregarded and the goal shall count.

• If the ball touches the ring but does not enter the basket, no violation has occurred, the signal shall be disregarded and the game shall continue.

• If the ball misses the ring, a violation has occurred. However, if the opponents gain an immediate and clear control of the ball, the signal shall be disregarded and the game shall continue.

When the backboard is equipped with yellow lighting along its perimeter at the top, the lighting takes precedence over the shot clock signal sound.

All restrictions related to goaltending and interference shall apply."
