Iow, if a state wants to use a shot clock for instance, they certainly can do so. But by doing so, they are usually leaving themselves open to possible FED sanctions, which are usually something along the line of not allowing that state to have any representation or input on or to the NFHS rules committee.

Yep. That's what Washington lives with for its shot clock. Apparently the WIAA had decided that its a small price to pay.

Yep.
