I agree with this. It really doesn't happen much at all. The only times I've seen a stall play used were when, (a) the defense won't "come out" on the ball, and the offense is annoyed, and (b) the offense is stalling because they have no clue how to score, and the defense is giving them a little break (no running clock, remember).

I might be okay with a shot clock if it was at 45 or 50 seconds, but I think for a lot of girls' teams, even varsity, 35 seconds is just too short.
