Once a player puts two hands on the ball (not including catching the ball) they cannot
then dribble or move with the ball and the ball must be passed or shot.

 Each team has 24 seconds to at least shot at the basket. A shot constitutes either going
in the basket or hitting the rim of the basket. If after the shot is taken and the ball fails to
go in the basket then the shot clock is restarted for another 24 seconds.
