Tennessee....Shot Clock or Not?

[bounder]

Not everybody has gotten around to buying the clocks for football, but the ones that have, they seem to work well!

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.

Good point.

I am for it, but this is one of the cons. I think the good defensive teams should be rewarded. Some times you have kids up defending well and the referee is not even counting. Also, if we are preparing kids to play on the next level then why not implement it?

I would like to see it to, and every thing you said I agree with, but let me give you another problem, in college you have recruited athletes, some times you see teams win by 20/30 points but most of the time the game are competitive, but in high school it would get really bad, for example, Meigs played Sequoyah last night in a district game and it was 40-10 at the half, if you add a shot clock it could’ve easily been 55-5 or worse, and pretty much every district in the state has 1 or 2 top teams and the rest can barely dribble.

Good defensive teams get rewarded with 5 seconds and charges. Would be hard to get implemented. I would rather see a charge circle under goal that might help prevent some serious injuries. Issues with shot clock- another ref to expense which could be bad for a small rural 1A school. Would also make for some really bad ball too. Would probably really only benefit a hand full of schools in the end.

Not  when some refs dont count and dont know the rule of what a charge is, lol.

And yes a restricted area is much needed, probably more than the shot clock

I would love to have it, but it would be a nightmare having the refs trying to keep up with it. Would be great for the game, but more capital would be needed to have more quality refs and the cost it would incur.I would love to see it they could come up with a plan.

I am against it. Not only would it add to the responsibilities of the referees, but it would add to the schools to get someone to properly run the shot clock.
