What if the shot clock expires?
Shot clock · Rule 17.1, 17.4
Failure to attempt a valid shot in time gives the opponents a free shot. A shot already in flight may complete if the ball left the player's hand before the expiry signal sounded.
How it works
Failure to attempt a valid shot in time gives the opponents a free shot. A shot already in flight may complete if the ball left the player's hand before the expiry signal sounded. The shot must have left the hand before the signal.
In a game
The signal sounds while a previously released shot is flying towards goal.
Remember
The shot must have left the hand before the signal.
