Hmmm - I didn't play high school ball so I don't know if the lack of action rules were if effect in CA (1988-1992).
HOWEVER, I was coaching CYO basketball during my high school years (and beyond) and I remember "lack of action" being mentioned in the rules. THis was because CYO adopted most of the Federation's rules with some exceptions.
Note that I DON'T remember if the lack of action rule was used in CYO or not. THe rule may have been mentioned in passing.
If there was no shot clock in CA back around the mid 90's, one of the highest scoring teams in the Bay Area might not have broken 100 points. Balboa High with their "Jet Offense" ran around some high quality competition but also the lower rung teams in their league. I know my alma mater tried to slow things up but the shot clock proved to be too difficult to overcome.
