Title: 40 Second Runoff
Post by: will27 on September 22, 2015, 04:13:49 PM

Is this implemented as an equivalent to a 10 second runoff caused by the offense: i.e., in the
last minute of either half, a stoppage is caused by the defense (who is tied or behind) with no timeouts remaining?

Rule 4, Section 7

ARTICLE 3. DEFENSIVE FOULS DURING LAST 40 SECONDS. In the last 40 seconds of either half, if there is a defensive foul prior to the snap while time is in, the half will end, unless the defense has timeouts remaining, or the offense chooses to have the Game Clock start on the snap.
