Heard a McMinn Central fan complain about officiating....

First off, i'm all for a shot clock. Second, I wasn't implying that the shot clock is the reason the scoring has went down. I was just saying that don't get hung up on scoring will go up because of a shot clock because you take higher level athletes with a shot clock and scoring has went down (proven statistical data). But if kids continue to foul then the shot clock would be obsolete either way. This year for NCAA/high school is going to be a re-learning/adjusting year to get the game cleaned up to be more of a pure game and not a rugby match.

I've seen 6 games already this year (4 girls and 2 boys) and the refs have varied quite a bit in their definition of hand-checking, etc. I think they'll need to re-tweak their training to be more consistent.
