5. 2017 NCAA Rules – Advancing the Ball
30 seconds for the ball or player in possession of the ball to touch the offensive box
Over and Back becomes live once the clearing count is satisfied
Who caused the ball to go backcourt?
Loose Ball Tech resets the clearing count; Flag Down does NOT
Calling a TO in the alley satisfies the clearing count
b. Exceptions. An over and back violation does not occur in the following situations:
1. A shot that leaves the offensive half of the field.
2. A loose ball that leaves the offensive half of the field and was last touched by the defensive team.
3. A loose ball that leaves the offensive half of the field and the defense is called for a loose ball violation (or play-on) or caused the ball to go out of bounds in the defensive end.
4. The defensive team causes the ball to go out of bounds in the defensive end.
***In all of these situations, a new clearing clock will be initiated***

6. 2017 NCAA Rules – Shot Clock Up to the discretion of the referees
Potential triggers for shot clock:
Possession shots
Change in offense that no longer attacks the goal
Offensive player standing in the attack area with the defense playing the ball
Offense not setting picks to create a scoring opportunity
Offense not trying break down their man 1 on 1
Offensive player beating his man and turns back instead of going to goal
“Shot Clock On!” mechanic
Run it off the game clock. Choose “0s”
Officiating Mechanics.
1. An official signals stall warning, verbalizes “Shot clock!”
2. During the 30-second period, the shot clock shall start and stop with the official’s whistle.
3. Any penalty or loose ball play-on by the defense will reset the shot clock during an existing stall warning (shot clock). A reset signal shall be used by the officials.
4. A shot that hits the goal pipe or rebounds off of the goalkeeper nullifies the stall warning and the game shall continue. The waive off signal shall be used by the officials.
5. In an existing flag down situation (prior to any shot clock warnings), an offensive team can be called for stalling. In this situation the shot clock will continue until it expires, a shot is taken on goal, or is reset upon another defensive foul.
6. Neither team shall be called for stalling during a man advantage.
7. If a shot hits a defensive team player other than the goalkeeper does not satisfy the criteria for a shot on goal.
8. Once the shot criteria is met, an audible “Shot clock off” command and wave-off signal shall be given by the officials.
9. If the period ends during a shot clock situation, the shot clock is no longer in effect.

7. Current NFHS Rules – Advancing the Ball
20 seconds to get the ball over the midfield line
10 seconds to get the ball into the offensive box once possession has been established in the offensive half of the field
Who caused the ball to go backcourt? (same principles as NCAA rules)

8. Current NFHS Rules - Stalling
“Get it in and keep it in!” mechanic
Automatic stall warning in last 2 min for team winning < 4 goals
Similar stalling triggers as NCAA 2017 rules
