Also be aware that the NFHS has taken the voting privileges away from the states that are using shot clocks.

I'm not sure this is true. It may be a myth. I talked to a bigwig in the MA Interscholastic Athletic Association (sets state rules if different from FED). She said that it is true that MA has been barred from chairing the rules committee, but that we still have voting rights.
On top of that, she said that our punishment is not for using a shot clock; but for using halves, instead of quarters.
That's just what I was told.

Yeah, I think you're right that it is a myth Chuck. I talked to the director of the Washington Officials Association and he said that the shot clock is NOT the reason that Washington State doesn't have voting privileges. In fact, someone on our state's WOA committee suggested a vote to remove the shot clock from girl's basketball. In the end, there was more support on the committee for adding a shot clock in boys basketball amid rumors that the NFHS is going to approve the use of shot clocks by state adoption.

That would be great if you were correct. I was just going off of what somebody higher up in California told me.
I am all for the shot clock.
