Problem:If :00.3 or less remain on the shot clock when this situation occurs, a shot clock violation is called. The game clock and shot clock must show :00.3 or more in order for a player to secure possession of the ball on a rebound or throw-in to attempt a field goal. NCAA games are comprised of two 20-minute halves. 1 In both the NBA and NCAA, an overtime period is five minutes. 2 An NBA three is taken from 23'9 (or 22 in the corners). 3 Once in the double-bonus, fouling to stop the clock is a riskier play. Basketball: The Clock and Timing. 1 High School - High school basketball games are made up of four 8-minute quarters or two 16-minute halves. 2 College - NCAA college basketball games consists of two 20 minute halves. This is the same for the WNBA and international games. 3 NBA - NBA games are made up of four 12-minute quarters. Sporting Charts explains Shot Clock The shot clock resets when the ball touches the rim. In the NBA, when a foul is called and there are fewer than 13 seconds on the shot clock, the shot clock resets to 14 seconds. The implementation of the shot clock in 1954 is arguably the most important rule change in the history of the NBA. Since professional basketball games were 48 minutes long, Biasone divided 2880 (the number of seconds in 48 minutes) by 120 (the total number of shots taken per game when each team attempted 60 shots) and arrived at an optimal figure of one shot every 24 seconds. The 24-second shot clock made an immediate impact. In 1954-55, its first season, NBA teams averaged 93.1 points, an increase of 13.6 points over the previous season. The Boston Celtics became the first team in NBA history to average more than 100 points per game for a season, and three years later, every team did it. "Pro basketball would not have survived without a clock," said Biasone. In the NBA (since 1954), Women's National Basketball Association (since 2006), and FIBA play (since 2000; 30-second from 1956 to 2000), the shot clock counts down 24 seconds, thus often being called the 24-second clock. On April 22, 1954, facing a scoring drought of epic proportions, NBA owners voted to implement a 24-second shot clock. The decision changed the league and the game of basketball. Before that vote, the NBA had a problem: a low-scoring, time-killing breed of basketball was taking over the league. In Game 7, Syracuse's George King made one of two foul shots with 12 seconds left, then stole the ball to seal a 92-91 victory. BIASONE 'S INVENTION RESCUES THE LEAGUE Danny Biasone will always have a place in NBA history as the man who invented the shot clock. When the ball is inbound, the clock starts once a player touches the ball. In the NBA the clock stops after a made shot during the last two minutes of the game and overtime. For college it stops during the last minute of the game and overtime. Overtime If the game is tied after regulation time, there will be overtime. Overtime is 5 minutes long in most leagues. Additional overtimes will be added until one team ends up on top. The Shot Clock In order to speed up the game and to prevent teams from stalling, a shot clock was added. This is how long you have to shoot the ball. If the ball changes possession or hits the rim of the basket, the shot clock starts over. The length of the shot clock is different for different basketball leagues: NCAA College Men - 35 seconds Query: how long in seconds is the shot clock in an nba game.
