After a violation, foul, ball out of bounds, or made basket, a team gets five seconds to toss the basketball inbounds. It is a violation and a turnover if it takes longer. A team gets 10 seconds to cross the half court line. The clock starts when the ball is put into play by any means other than a free throw, such as when an opponent steals it or recovers it herself with no defender within 2 feet. If the stealer is able to get past her defender, then she has more time. If not, then the defending player has a chance to stop her before they both reach the half-court line. If the stealer is still going when the ball is inbounded by the opposing team, then it is a live ball and they get another 5 seconds (or less) to shoot it. If the stealer waits until the last second to pass the ball, that's called a delay of game and it costs them a double technical. As soon as the ball is inbounded, the clock starts running again, even if the stealer is still going. If she stops before reaching the half-court line, then there is no time remaining on the clock. If she goes all the way to the hoop or beyond without being caught, then more time has been added to the clock.
