FIBA Official Basketball rules 2022

After the time-out, the throw-in shall be administered as follows: • If as a result of the ball having gone out-of-bounds and if from the team's: ▬ Backcourt, the shot clock shall continue from the time it was stopped. ▬ Frontcourt: If the shot clock shows 13 seconds or less it shall continue from the time it was stopped. If the shot clock shows 14 seconds or more, it shall be reset to 14 seconds. • If as a result of a foul or violation (not for the ball having gone out-of-bounds) and if from the team's: ▬ Backcourt, the shot clock shall be reset to 24 seconds. ▬ Frontcourt, the shot clock shall be reset to 14 seconds. • If the time-out is taken by the team which has a new control of the ball, and if from the team's: When the team is awarded a throw-in from the throw-in line in the team’s frontcourt as part of the penalty for an unsportsmanlike or disqualifying foul, the shot clock shall be reset to 14 seconds. After the ball has touched the ring of the opponents’ basket, the shot clock shall be reset to: • 24 seconds, if the opponents’ team gains control of the ball. • 14 seconds, if the team which regains control of the ball is the same team that was in control of the ball before the ball touched the ring. If the shot clock signal sounds in error while a team has control of the ball or neither team has control of the ball, the signal shall be disregarded and the game shall continue. However, if in the judgement of a referee, the team in control of the ball has been placed at a disadvantage, the game shall be stopped, the shot clock shall be correc ted and possession of the ball shall be awarded to that team. A team is in control of a live ball in its frontcourt when: • A player of that team is touching his/her frontcourt with both feet while holding, catching or dribbling the ball in his/her frontcourt, or • The ball is passed between the players of that team in its frontcourt. A team in control of a live ball in the frontcourt has illegally returned the ball to its backcourt, if a player of that team is the last to touch the ball in his/her frontcourt and the ball is then first touched by a player of that team: • Who has part of his/her body in contact with the backcourt, or • After the ball has touched the backcourt of that team. This restriction applies to all situations in a team's frontcourt, including throw-ins. However, it does not apply to a player who jumps from his/her frontcourt, establishes a new team control while still airborne and then lands with the ball in his/her team’s backcourt. ▬ Backcourt, the shot clock shall be reset to 24 seconds. ▬ Frontcourt, the shot clock shall be reset to 14 seconds.
