While I tend to agree with Ignats75, many states have successfully moved to high school shot clocks, and a few have done it for many years.

I think that the key to success for high school shot clocks is to keep the rules as simple as possible based on purpose and intent, to force the team in control to shoot the ball and hit the ring in about half of a minute. No "stalling". All "resets" after a loss of control should be to about half of a minute. No held ball, kicking, frontcourt, backcourt, etc. exceptions. Maybe not even for out of bounds deflections by the defense (like ten seconds backcourt). Maybe not even for timeouts (like ten seconds backcourt). Keep it simple, the shot clock is either running, or reset to about half of a minute, never stopped. No stop button, just a reset button (like ten seconds backcourt). I fully realize that this will never fly, it's just that I'm wearing my rose colored glasses.
