Since the 2008-09 season, referees have reviewed all plays in which they have reasonable certainty that the game clock malfunctioned and it continued to run to 0:00 or should have run to 0:00.

Reviewable Matters:

1. Proper time (if any) by determining how much time actually expired
2. For a successful field goal, whether the ball left the shooter’s hand prior to the expiration of real time and if time should be added to the game clock
3. Whether a non-shooting foul occurred prior to the expiration of actual time
4. Whether a shooting foul occurred prior to the expiration of actual time or whether the shooter released the ball prior to the expiration of actual time
5. Successful field goal was scored correctly as a 2-point field goal or 3-point field goal
6. Shooter or player fouled committed a boundary line violation or the ball touched out of bounds prior to entering the basket
7. 24-second violation occurred prior to the ball leaving the shooter’s hand or foul occurred
8. 8-second backcourt violation
9. Whether any unsportsmanlike acts or unnecessary contact occurred

Notes:

1. For clock malfunctions, the officials will not make a ruling prior to using replay
2. Clock malfunctions occur when clocks start early, late or freeze during play
