So, changing a rule to improve 1 game is worth making 50 others worse? For teams that are not able to get something done in 35 seconds to be pushed to launch a shot, any shot, just so they don't run out of time doesn't improve things. HS sports is not (solely) about the championships. It about teaching and experiences too. Some teams that may not compete for the title may gain/learn a lot more for working and being patient. I'm not willing to support forcing every player and every team to be run-n-gun. Some schools just don't have the horses to do that. The game should allow a variety of styles such that a smart, patient, and precise team has a chance to win a game against a team of race horses.
