I witnessed a game like this once. It was very hard to watch. Because there are so little possessions, a mistake by an official is actually game changing. I think there were a few big calls that benefited the stalling team in the game I watched.
The state actually adopted the shot clock the next year and many think it was a result of this game.
As a fan, I paid to watch a basketball game. I don't care who wins most of the time, I just want to watch some ball.
As an official, I hope I never have to be a part of one. I am grateful for the shot clock.
