I'm perplexed.

Frugal principals, athletic directors, and coaches have stymied three person varsity games for years, something that would really improve Connecticut high school basketball in every varsity game, yet the same principals, athletic directors, and coaches are jumping on the bandwagon for the chance to have high school shot clocks, something that would only improve a handful of games each season, and yet still be costly, originally for the equipment, and then ongoing for shot clock operators at the table.

If the schools create more responsibility for the officials by adding a shot clock, then the officials should seek greater compensation per game.
