35 sec shot clock was passed today by the NFHS beginning with the 22-23 season. States will have the option to adopt or decline

Need Tennessee to accept this but I expect they wont. Pace of play for some of these schools has gotten so slow and it is painful to watch. I expect it wont get adopted in TN because of cost and people not wanting change.

This may be a dumb question, but with adding a shot clock, will they have to have an extra official to run it or is it something that can be done by itself?

Have to have someone at scorers table run it. This is one of the reasons people will fight it in TN. Hard enough to get people to run the scoreboard and fill out the book. Now youll need someone to do shot clock too unless your scoreboard person can handle both.

I am for a shot clock, however, I do understand the task of getting someone to man it.  I agree,  It is hard enough for some schools to get someone to keep the clock.  It will be very difficult to do both.

I am also ok with a 45 sec. boys clock and a 1:00 girls clock.  This way you can use some strategy with a slow down game, but still are not holding the ball for 2:00 minutes or so.  Macon Co. was very successful using the hold on tactic this year.

I watched a game last year where one team literally held the ball for 2:30 down by 1 at the end of the game to try and get the last shot. I understand the strategy but to me that isnt what basketball should be. 35 seconds does seem a touch quick but I think a minute is too long. 45 seconds seems like a good time at least to start. Once teams and coaches get a handle on how to play with the shot clock you could look at reducing the time. 

Another benefit of adding a shot clock is that it helps prepare kids for playing college ball.

I agree, I like the minute for girls for the adjustment period.  You could then do 45 for girls, and 35 for boys.  This would offer time for a keeper to adjust to the clock.

You have a source of trained clock operators with your football officials.  Pay them $50.00 for a doubleheader and they will be Chomping at the bits to work.

Problem is having to pay someone. Lots of places have volunteers at the scorer's table. Yes the solution is to pay people but many places are resistant to that idea.

Who is going to pay for the clocks?? I am for a 45 second clock or 40.

    • Oh yeah, I’m sure you are different people just always on the same thread for some reason, always agreeing with each other, perhaps just a bunch of dorks who would like to ###### and moan about high school football coaches do a lot of other students, so you make a football team and get a yell at them. When they do something wrong, but I’m sure you don’t like that, do you?   and I’m sure I’m aware of where you get information. A teacher who was on the coaching staff but was fired after the new coaching and staff came in and realized he actually had to start taking his assistant job a little bit more seriously than just wanting to make a little extra cash on the side, hardly even showing up to most practices, should’ve left with his buddy to go to Farragut. I’m sure he could get him a defensive coaching job, but I doubt he will be there in three years. Looking at the way Farragut is currently going.
    • It may be hard to believe but there’s more people than me that think you guys are a bunch of losers.    I’m sure the coaching staff, yourself included, cursed at a bunch of high school students. Nobody could name more than 3 coaches on staff due to the constant turnover. 
    • That's complete BS.  Nobody at ACHS has access to CHS student records unless a transfer is made from CHS to ACHS.  
    • Trez's last scandal has died down, so I guess this is there opportunity to be the best 4A team playing in 2A a la Sissy MTN.  At least they won't be in a Z-district with 1a teams in the regular season.
    • Facts...until someone takes down the Rebels they should be the favorite. Got loads of young guys salivating at the opportunity to prove themselves and get a 3peat! Blazer how is Region 1 looking this year?
