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.

We have had a 30-second shot clock in girls HS basketball in Washington State for more than 10 years. In my experience, it makes the game much more enjoyable for the players and fans, even for small school contests. For me, it makes it more enjoyable to ref as well.
It really makes you evenmore aware of the game clock as an official, especially at lower level games when a clueless parent is running the game and shot clock. Very good for your clock management skills when you move to higher levels.
