Well if it was this week or last, I must've tuned out during that conversation.
LOL. I'm not scared. You woke me up from my 2 year nap/hiatus from the site!
Either way, I didn't think we (PA) would see the shot clock under the current administration. But things change and talking heads, so....
My fears echo most of yours from the previous posts. The jump from sub level to varsity would increase drastically if they chose to only implement it at the varsity level. In my district we're all 3 man for varsity, but that's not state-wide and from my stint in Women's NCAA, I know that there are plenty of shot clock issues even at the D2 level, and especially down to the D3 and JUCO levels...both on the operator and the official's side.
I can think of better ways to better the HS game. The shot clock rules aren't overly impossible as a ref and an operator, but they can certainly increase the amount of stoppages due to stop/start/restart issues when the idea is to have the game sped up.
