I have been told by an anonymous source that officials and coaches on the NFHS committee are overwhelmingly in support of the shot clock, but administrators are against it. If the rules committee has significant membership changes, then it would not be surprising to see NFHS adopting a shot clock. In the meantime, keep sending proposals to your local state rules interpreters if you want shot clocks, changes to the bonus rule, etc.

You are actually very wrong about Illinois. Illinois was not the usage of the shot clock this outside of the NF. All that was discussed is it was possible and there were people in the know that thought this "could pass" this year. It did not pass, so I would suspect the IHSA would not do anything outside of these rules changes this year. It is not the IHSA's style to do such a thing this drastic. And if the shot clock came into play in the NF Rules this year, the IHSA said it would not have been this coming year (that was stated to clinicians throughout the state) because of cost primarily. Not a major problem in this state. Many of the top teams play an uptempo style and score in the 50s and 60s is not unusual (at least on the boy's side).
