Thanks for your thoughts.


I would guess that there are a between one million and two million basketball games (boys' and girls'; jr. H.S. and H.S.) played in Canada and the United States each school year using NFHS rules. How many end up with scores like 8-5? Not enough to worry about whether the rules need a shot clock.
