Shot Clock Violation

Since the 2009-10 season, referees have reviewed plays in which they were not reasonably certain whether or not a 24-second violation occurred on a made basket or prior to a foul being called.

Reviewable Matters:

  1. Whether a successful field goal was attempted prior to the expiration of the shot clock
  2. Whether a called foul occurred prior to the expiration of the shot clock

Notes:

  1. On a made basket Replay Review will be conducted according to the following:
    1. In the first three periods: review at next timeout or period break
    2. In 4th period prior to second (mandatory) timeout: review at next timeout
    3. In 4th period after second timeout and all overtime periods: review at next clock stoppage
  2. Upon review of the made basket, points may be added or deducted from the team’s score
  3. On a foul call, Replay Review will be conducted immediately
  4. Upon review of the foul, if the foul is confirmed to have occurred or a field goal is released prior to the expiration of the shot clock, free throws will be taken or the team fouled will maintain possession
  5. If the foul occurred after the expiration of the shot clock, the foul will not count. • Instant replay would NOT be used to check a successful basket if the throw-in, free throw attempt or jump ball started with .2 or .1 on the shot clock
