High School Basketball needs a shot clock

I think we need one in the state game. because you dont have unskilled players there

 

The only problem with having a shot clock just for the state tournament would be that it would change the complexion of the game in a way that would give an advantage to teams that continuously push the ball. If this is done, a more traditional set based offensive team would be at a tremendous disadvantage because it would force them to stray away from the game plan that got them to state in the first place. Granted its usually the high flying, fast paced teams that win state anyway, but adding a shot clock would just add to the disadvantage for teams that play at a slower pace.

No, the argument that it gets them ready for the next level is no valid. How many possessions actually would be affected by a shot clock. Some teams might have a problem, ball management is a huge portion of the game and is strategery ( as our last president says it) that allows some teams to play with others. not no but heck no...

If you added one in the state tournament then that would put you at playing 25-30 games without one and then all of sudden having to change up what you do and adapt to a different style of play. To me that would lead to a lot of ugly basketball.

Yea but some coaches just dont know what to do about stall ball(or are ignorant) cause I was at a USN vs. SAS game in the Regions for DII-A and SAS was down by 5 in the 3rd quarter,they were playing the 2-3, and USN had the ball but yet the coach told them to stay in the 2-3. And they lost by like 10 after USN scored with 1 min. left in the quarter and SAS couldnt score. I asked the players wat was up and they said "if they wasnt gunna play offense we werent gunna guard em"...WAT!!?? I guess he was trying to prove a point??? Or maybe its just horrible coaching.

Keep it up...If you're mediocre team even makes it out of region, then you might have a little room to talk...Humboldt might have a weak schedule, but to think that they are a cupcake is a big mistake...

 

We run and gun over here...The shot clock wouldn't change a thing...Actually it would be to Humboldt's advantage because then teams that can't keep up like the Hampton Bulldogs for example wouldn't be able to just hold the ball and try to keep it close...

 

I'm starting to wonder if you're a freshmen on the cheerleading squad...that's about the only way I could understand your comments.. /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" />

I just don't get that. They could at the very least attempt a match-up 2-3 ( or attack 1-3-1)

 

 

 

While we're at the task of changing rules we should change the foul limit from 5 to 6 in order to prepare players for the NBA

Exactly, putting a shot clock in for just the State tournament would just take away more from the enjoyment of the game for fans than not having one. Some teams aren't equipped personel wise to push the ball every possession, some teams have to play a slower pace so that they have semi decent legs at the end of the game. So to say that adding a shot clock for the state tournament is a good idea is a real stretch. It would pretty much be punishing the teams that earned their spots in the tournament by playing slower paced offenses.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
