Heck have a couple of people do it throughout the year. Just saying at the small college level we get first-timers all the time doing the shot clock. Student-athletes or some school personnel telling us often, "I have never done this before" and we get through it. Now good if you can get officials to do it, but why is that seem like the only option for everyone?

There's a high school less than 5 minutes from my house. I'll take that part-time gig if VA public schools ever adopt the shot clock.
