Tennessee....Shot Clock or Not?

[RealisticFan45]

Should HS implement a shot clock? If so, how many seconds?

Hello caller you're on the air....

[ReitzFan]

Simply NO

[Intense]

Absolutely yes!  I think 40 seconds would be sufficient.  This would reward great defensive teams and would also force good offensive teams to take care of the ball and take good shots. 

[BullShark]

Wholeheartedly, Yes!  I think 40-45 seconds would be good.  Reset to 30 on an offensive rebound. 

[LadyCavsFan]

I don’t see it as big need.  Most games these days are played with pressure and trapping.  Not many 40-45 second possessions.  It’s mostly 2-3 passes and jack a 3 or drive to basket.  Probably would just result in even worse shots than we see already.  But it wouldn’t do anything to improve the level of play.

[Americal198]

No.

[Dadof2]

It won’t happen, referee struggle just calling the game now, just imagine how many times you would have controversy over weather the ball hit the ram or not, and you don’t have instant reply.

NO !!!

[repoman]

Yes, the more skilled ,athletic teams would win or be rewarded. No more stall tactic, get lucky coachin wins for lesser talented teams. But it will never happen to much to keep up with.

I have seen some high school tournaments, and travel ball tournaments, ran with a shot clock. The better basketball is played with a shot clock.

also everyone that questions why Sally not getting offers like  Betty is. Set shooting Sally hits 5 ,3 pointers a game , but Betty is long athletic moves good more upside gettin up and down court more favorable to a shot clock and these coaches that recruit and thier career lively hood depends on it , and local people get butt hurt cause set shootin Sally not gettin no looks. Shot clock eliminates or distances" the one trick ponies." My 2 cents.

I'm on the fence. We (as a team) would adjust, if added. We played a team the other day that we defended possessions of 1:02 minutes, 46 seconds, and 41 seconds...all in the 1st quarter. That wasn't a stall method by our opponent, they simply could not get a shot off. I think we could use it to our advantage....but we have also used the no shot clock to our advantage late in quarters, if we are trying to pull our opponent out of a zone.

I see it being a problem, specifically in inner city schools with the cost of buying two shot clocks per gym. Have there been any issues by adding it in football?
