Heading: Shot clock     Sub Heading: Procedure

"When the game clock shows 2:00 minutes or less in the fourth quarter or overtime, following a time-out taken by the team entitled to the possession of the ball from its backcourt, the head coach of that team has the right to decide whether the game shall be resumed with a throw-in from the throw-in line in the team’s frontcourt or from the team’s backcourt at the place nearest to where the game was stopped.

After the time-out, the throw-in shall be administered as follows:

• If as a result of the ball having gone out-of-bounds and if from the team’s:

  • Backcourt, the shot clock shall continue from the time it was stopped.

  • Frontcourt, if the shot clock shows 13 seconds or less it shall continue from the time it was stopped. If the shot clock shows 14 seconds or more, it shall be reset to 14 seconds.

• If as a result of a foul or violation (not for the ball having gone out-of-bounds) and if from the team’s:

  • Backcourt, the shot clock shall be reset to 24 seconds.

  • Frontcourt, the shot clock shall be reset to 14 seconds.

• If the time-out is taken by the team which has a new control of the ball, and if from the team’s:

  • Backcourt, the shot clock shall be reset to 24 seconds.

  • Frontcourt, the shot clock shall be reset to 14 seconds."
