Yeah, but how many shot clock errors do you see per game? MIAA doesn't give any shot clock training, as far as I know. If you're only seeing 1 per game, then either you're very fortunate when it comes to table personnel or you're not paying close enough attention. JMO.

The quality of shot clock operation in the four leagues with which I am involved from Boston north varies from good to horrible. We, too, have the occasional school that says, despite it's being an MIAA requirement, "We don't _do_ shot clock for the frosh boys and/or girls."
Personally, I've never liked it. Why would you need it in the boys game? There's a ten second count in the backcourt and a five second count in the front court. Let 'em play keep away. It's just strategy. Generally, there aren't many high school teams with enough self-control and/or skill to freeze the ball for very long, anyway.
