The thought in our state amongst CBOA and instructors, as well as coaches, is to prepare the high school players for the college game. Also, it would be a major struggle for lower level (f/jv) girls teams to advance the ball against pressure consistently. Just my 2 cents as a contributor to the process.

I'm not a big shot clock guy for the high school game, but why not have a 10 sec. count anyway. I saw the NCAA W national chapionship game where Harding of Duke held the ball in the backcourt until the shot clock reached 10. How is this helping the game?? My question is this: on average how many 10 sec. call do you make a year?? My guess is probably less than 1 per game. So why not keep the game moving???
