the shot clock was first introduced by the nba in 1954, to increase the speed of play. teams were then required to attempt a shot within 24 seconds of gaining possession, and the shot clock would be reset when the ball touched the basket's rim or the backboard, or the opponents gained possession. fiba adopted a 30-second shot clock two years later, resetting the clock when a shot was attempted. women's basketball adopted a 30-second clock in 1971. the ncaa adopted a 45-second shot clock for men while continuing with the 30-second clock for women in 1985. the men's shot clock was then reduced to 35 seconds in 1993, and further reduced to 30 seconds in 2015. fiba reduced the shot clock to 24 seconds in 2000, and changed the clock's resetting to when the ball touched the rim of the basket. originally, a missed shot where the shot clock expired while the ball is in the air constituted a violation. in 2003 the rule was changed so that the ball remains live in this situation, as long as it touched the rim. if the ball touches the rim and slightly bounces over the basketball hoop it will be called as a loose ball.
