Funny you should bring up the shot clock subject. Last night at our state(Maryland)interpretation meeting it was asked as it usually is every year when the boys will be using a shot clock due to the fact that the girls in MD already use one and will this ever be a rule proposed by the Fed. The answer was that this subject was recently brought up in Indianapolis at the meetings. It appears there only a handful of states which currently use a shot clock in some way whether it be for boys or girls, and the majority of the other states who do not currently use it don't see a need for it, so that the most you may see from the fed in the coming years it to make shot clocks a per state adoption rule just as they have done with this new "mercy rule", but probably they will never change it definitively to the entire country.
