Question

I suppose I could try to find it but.....

The other night as I was watching a college game there was .6 left on the game clock when a team was shooting a free throw. The announcer was saying that the clock will start when the ball hits the rim....I thought the clock started when a player touches it on the rebound? At first I thought I heard wrong but he said it a couple of times

When is the clock suppose to start on a missed free throw?

I saw that too. I think Fran F. was wrong there. It starts once the ball is touched. I thought I was 100% right on that but his comment made me think twice. Maybe someone can check.

lefty...you are right, the clock starts only when a player touches it.
I have seen a FT bound high off the rim and touch a support wire or the shot clock causing a violation and a whistle...but yet, the clock never starts on that play.

It's the same as when you inbound a ball or on the tip-toss....the clock only starts when a player touches it.

Thanks tornado. I like Jimmy Dykes (I said Fran F. yesterday but I was wrong) on broadcasts but I was surprised he had that so wrong.
