What is the 24second shot clock?

Answer 1

A clock that is timed for 24 seconds. When a team has the ball they have 24 seconds to make a basket. If the 24 seconds expires it's a "shot-clock violation" and the other team gets the ball. Also if someone attempts to shoot but hits the rim, but dose not go in the shot-clock will reset back to 24. If the game clock is below 24 seconds the shot-clock will be turned off.
