The rule
NCAA basketball uses a 30-second shot clock for both men and women. In men’s basketball the clock resets to 20 seconds after an offensive rebound when fewer than 20 seconds remain.
Check the current NCAA rulebook for your division and season. If your league resets differently, change the reset time in the settings and save it.
In practice
Practice with the clock you play with. A 30-second clock changes when you can afford a second action, and players only learn that feel by playing against it every day.
For late-clock work, start possessions at 10 or 12 seconds and use the remote to reset the moment the ball changes hands.
Want reps on the clock? Drill mode in Pro runs the clock, the rest and the next rep for you. Ideas: shot clock drills.
On match day
Training is the default: free, with the times you choose. For games, match mode in Pro follows NCAA timing. The reset buttons become 30 (new possession) and 20 (offensive rebound). With the game clock on screen, the shot clock turns off when less game time than shot clock time remains.
