NO

Yeah,would hurt smaller teams.I was hoping someone would bring that up so i wouldn't have to.

Yes.........40 second.........but not enough money to go around to set the deal.

Yes, no shot clock allows lesser athletic teams to stay in a game simply by holding the ball...Which isn't basketball IMO. Why is everyone for helping out the lesser team to stay in the game? If your the lesser team you shouldnt have an advantage which often times no shot clock is for them. Being athletic, height, fundamentals are all part of basketball most would agree. No need to pity the less athletic team and keep shot clocks out for their sake

Then go take it away from them.

Exactly! If a lesser team is ahead with 3 minutes to go and is disciplined enough to work an offense and hold the ball forcing the "greater team" to foul why should they be punished with a shot clock? The greater team should never have gotten down to begin with. Basketball has worked for years lets leave it the way it is. The only favorable argument for a shot clock is so that the fans can enjoy the game more. High school sports should not be about the fans. It is about the student athletes that are on the floor. Let them decide the game not a shot clock so you can be more entertained.

NO, Some refs have a hard time calling games now, I couldn't imagine what would happen if they had more responsibility.

Well if there was a shot-clock you would make kids take bad shots and rush into things as if you didn't they would wait and wait for a good shot. If a team is that much better than the other team then they should be able to take it away from then from a press or presure man.
