The maximum time limit of the shot clock varies by level of play and league: The National Basketball Association has had a 24-second limit since first introducing the clock in the 1950s; and college basketball for both men and women has a 30-second limit.
The American Basketball League used a 30-second shot clock for its two years in existence (1961â1963). The American Basketball Association also adopted a 30-second clock when it launched in 1967â68, switching to the NBA's 24-second length for its final season (1975â76).
