3.3.4.b Exact Moment Causing Reset - By the definition of the Reset rule, the Shot Clock is reset when the throw enters the 3D bubble of the Legitimate Attempt Zone. Once a direct throw reaches the LAZ the Shot Clock is reset. In the end, that throw can make a hit, a near miss, or be caught; but the Clock is reset before the catch is made and therefore the Clock counts to 15 after the sixth player is caught out. Then it switches to 10.
3.3.4.4.a Team A has 6 players on the court and one of their players is caught out. Team A’s Shot Clock reset on their throw and immediately becomes a 10 second Shot Clock.

I agree, these are confusing. I think, essentially they are saying the same thing, the wording is just a little ambiguous.
According to 3.3.4.1 "Definition - During play, a 15 second Shot Clock shall be in effect for both teams and shall be counted incrementally from one (1) to fifteen (15). The Shot Clock is not in effect for a Team if said Team does not have any Balls in their zone or in their possession."
Since the shot clock is counted from one to fifteen, the teams will not know they're on either a fifteen or ten count until the shot clock official raises his hand to start the final five second notifying count as outlined in 4.3.3.4.4 "Signaling Ten Seconds - When the count reaches ten (10), the Official shall vertically raise the hand not holding the timepiece. The Official visibly counts off the seconds by bringing the hand back down over their chest, then back up to vertical to signal a second." There is no 4.3.3.4.4.1 which should have the same rule as 4.3.3.4.4 but for the ten second count. I've already made this suggestion though and it will be added to next year's version of the rule book. There are two 4.3.3.4.4 which are the same thing.
