Eight states forfeited their voice on the rules committee, as well.

It's a solution in search of a problem at the high school level. It won't make bad basketball any better; it will just make it worse.

You can't compare the high school level to higher levels on this issue. Most high school players (not to mention wreck ball players, where the leagues also use NFHS rules) are not playing at the next level, so quite frankly it's not the NFHS's job to prepare players for those levels. Also, there are enough bad tables at lower level colleges–you really want to add a shot clock into the responsibilities of already bad tables at the varsity level all the way down to wreck ball?

I could go on.
