Chuck,
I was referring to the lag time provision in the NFHS rules as Mark Dexter pointed out.
I'm not convinced that you can run a shot clock in an NFHS game exactly like the NCAA does for two reasons.
1. First, I believe that under the current NFHS code all states that are using a shot clock are doing so against NFHS rules. I do not believe that the use of a shot clock falls into any of the 7 listed State Association Adoptions listed on page 68 of the Rules Book.
That objection aside, let's deal with the fact that some states are using it.
2. My second objection is that the states which use the shot clock seem to fail to detail exactly how to run it. I am familiar with the CA rules as they are published in the CBOA (California Basketball Officials Association) handbook, and they give a number of case plays, but not one where the shot clock expires just after a whistle. In the absence of a clear provision, I think we have to fall back on normal NFHS timing rules, and not follow NCAA rules, since this is an NFHS game.
