This is true. But since it's completely against FED rules, why can't you do it completely by NCAA rules? That's what we do in MA.

2. the states which use the shot clock seem to fail to detail exactly how to run it. 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.

Well, I only work in MA (for HS), so I can only speak for MA. But we are told clearly that all NCAA rules apply for our shot clock. They give us some case plays and we're expected to know the shot clock rules. Most guys don't know them. But that doesn't mean we ignore them if we
do know them.
Since there are NO rules whatsoever to govern the shot clock in FED, it seems to me to make more sense to use the rules that were made expressly for the shot clock; viz, the NCAA rules.
