Bring the clock down to 3.3 seconds.
I know that's not right in FED rules, but the NBA has a minimum amount of time that MUST come off the clock anytime the ball is legally touched inbounds. I would like the FED to adopt a rule of this type when the clock shows tenths of a second.

I'd probably leave the clock (but would be very tempted to change it), but if I could make one rule change in NFHS, it would be to adopt the NBA timing rules for how much time must come off the clock in certain situations. (And, it's close enough so I'll lump it in with my one rule change - eliminate lag time for clocks that display tenths of a second).

Chuck and Mark:
I think that you have both hit the nail on the head by identifying a problem in the NCAA and NFHS rules.

GREAT feedback guys! This is the main reason that I posted this play.
I agree with Chuck, MTD, Dexter, etc. and since I actually have the ability to do something about it, I will.
I have been given the NFHS rules change submission form for our state association and have been asked to submit a couple of changes that I think would benefit NFHS basketball. I am going to send in one on a mandatory amount of time that must come off the clock when the ball is touched inbounds and immediately knocked OOB.
Nevada also has a seat on the NFHS rules committee for next season. My name has been put into the mix for serving on the committee. I would be honored if I were chosen.
We'll see what happens.
