message: Starting in the 2014-15 seasonhttps://turnernbahangtime.files.wordpress.com/2014/11/2014-15-rules-changes.pdf (linked from the NBA.com officiating page), the shot clock no longer resets to 5 seconds on a jump ball induced by the defense.

message: Please, some one with a greater knowledge of basketball expand on this article and link it to basketball and NBA. Its impact on the game is tremendous; without it, the NBA might not exist. Oh, as far as the "other sports" line, I may have made that up. Do other sports use a shot clock?

I removed the line about shot clock criticism due to intentional fouling.  This statement is inaccurate because the shot clock resets on team fouls in the college game and I believe is now reset to 14 or 15 seconds (if the shot clock was down to fewer than 14-15 seconds) in the NBA.
The NBA resets the shot clock to 14 seconds after fouls if less than 14 is showing and the foul does not result in a turnover or free throw.
Other sports that use a shot clock include water polo and lacrosse (though I'm not sure if it universally used in the latter).
In the footnote at the bottom of the page, "averaged an average" should be changed to "scored an average" or something similar to get rid of the redundancy.--71.132.2.148 07:29, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

message: The introduction says that a shot clock is used in "professional Australian rules football." I occasionally watch AFL matches on TV, and have never seen a shot clock used. I also don't believe there is a professional AFL; AFAIK, all players are semiprofessional, with 9-to-5 jobs during the week. Does anyone have more information about this? 66.234.218.146 (talk) 20:05, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  There absolute is an AFL "shot clock", but it's only used on set shots.  It is not a shot clock in the traditional sense though, and is closer to penalties for stalling in association football. --  Alyas Grey : talk 00:43, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

message: Has anyone got a reference for snooker having a shot clock? I've not seen one and there's no length of time suggested in the table at the bottom of the article. Rikkiprince (talk) 17:43, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

message: I've noticed that the article has a chart summing up the lengths of the shot clock. The chart does reference the NFHS as having a 30 second shot clock in some states. I'm about to edit it so NFHS is replaced with United States high school.
I want to make the reason for this edit known. The NFHS rules, as of this time, does not use a shot clock. States that do utilize the shot clock are ineligible to serve on the national rules committee. So, to say that the NFHS rule is 30 seconds is inaccurate. However, some states do use that rule, and it's important to note that. So I do think that this labeling is a good compromise.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.196.181.10 (talk) 00:55, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

message: I put the material at the bottom of 3.1 14-second clock into a bulleted list and reworded things, but the two items baffle me.  Each has a qualification that strikes me as surplus:
*"If the offense retains possession"—If the defense secures possession, there would be no need to top-up anything, because the shot clock would be reset.
*"If the defense causes the jump ball"—The defense causes all jump balls, by tying up a ball that the offense possessed.
Am I missing something simple?  Can this language be further simplified?  Spike-from-NH (talk) 00:51, 16 December 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: PS--Found the 2018-19 NBA rules and rewrote this section.  There are cases of the shot clock being set to 14, and cases where it is topped up to 14.  I was unable to find a rule requiring it to be topped up to 5.0 as described.  Section 3.1 still makes an assertion about Euroleague that I don't know is still true as now written, and makes no assertion about WNBA, FIBA, and NCAA, which someone knowledgeable could add.
