SHOT CLOCK GUIDELINES
6. Stop the timing device and reset to full amount:
b. When any of the following occurs:
ii: A single technical foul assessed to the defensive team.
v: A violation, and the defense is awarded the ball for a throw-in.
Rationale: All technical fouls per NFHS Rule 10 Penalty result in a change of possession, two free throws and the ball at the division line (unless simultaneous offsetting), therefore a full shot clock reset would occur.
A violation by the defense, such as a kicked ball, will result in a full reset to the offensive team and a violation by the offense will result in a turnover and thus a full reset.
