I think the shot clock should continue to be a state-adopted thing. I know I represent the minority here, but living in Wyoming, we have a lot of smaller schools that sometimes put together teams of kids who barely know how to tie their own shoe, much less put a competitive team together. Often times these teams are just trying to run an offense without turning it over, so they'll run through the motion offense like 10 times before someone tries a shot (or they turn it over). They aren't trying to stall, they just don't have the skill to do much else. That would result in these teams taking poor shots more often than not. When you have 2 of these teams playing each other? I just think a game with 20 forced shots and 10 more shot clock violations is not the intent.
