High School Basketball needs a shot clock

[jsnfreeman11]

IMO, I believe high school basketball needs a 30 second shot clock. Would make the games more exciting than they already are and help the kids for the next level. Whats your opinion???

No

howard would be in trouble then

i think it needs one. The Grainger-Johnson County game tonight would have been an exciting one had Johnson county not held the ball for 3 minutes a posession. It was still a good one though

I just get tired of watching games where teams sit outside the top of the key and kill the clock.

Insert the shot clock and see who can play under pressure.

30 seconds? The NCAA has 35.

[jsnfreeman11]

The NCAA is on 20 min halfs.

High school is on 8 min quarters..

Speed it up a little bit with 30 seconds...

I totally agree. To sit out there on top and hold the ball is just infuriating and just plain poor sportmanship. I go to watch basketball and I pay to watch it and expect to be entertained. Watching some dolt sitting on a 10 point lead and holding the ball is not my idea of a good game. And even worse is the coach on the other side saying fine, if they just want to hold it? we will not challenge. Stupiest thing I ever saw. Do away with the jump ball rule while your at it. If it's going to be called a jump ball, then jump it! Some of these ref's call it a millasecond into the wrap up. Not that you ask me but, just my 2 cents...

Under no circumstances whatsoever should there ever be a shot clock, the jump ball rule is fine as is.

[CoachT]

No shot clock.

[Indian]

No. High school ball isn't the college game's minor league.

i agree with the shot clock in high school. some states use one already. i also agree with the person who said 30 seconds. do it like the college girls with a 30 second clock and no ten second count. think it would be a better game for everyone once everyone gets used to it. /motorbike.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":motorbike:" border="0" alt="motorbike.gif" />
