High School Basketball Shot Clock

A friend and myself were just discussing this a couple of weeks ago, wondering how long it would be before a shot clock would be introduced into high school basketball. Sounds like it needs to be soon!

I read that article earlier and that's rediculous.

I would have put them on the line by charging at them, swiping the ball, etc. whatever it took. I wouldn't have watched them stand there with the ball for minutes at a time. What a cowardly and dishonorable way to play a game they clearly have no respect for

That's far from the lowest scoring game ever.`

Wasn't about the score for me, it was the standing and doing nothing for minutes at a time.

Sorry guys, but I don't agree with the shot clock. If those girls used a different strategy to win the game than the way they usually play then good for them. The losing coach has no one to blame but himself for not adapting to the strategy. All a shot clock does is benefit the team with the best shooters. There is more to the game than shooting, as this coach obviously prooved.

Aw, Man! I do that all the time.
