They are flat-out shocked to learn that 43 of the 50 states do NOT use a shot clock for HS games! 
Hopefully, these last two posts blew your mind this morning. It's always fun to have one of those eye-opening moments.  |
Your post made me realize that for the CYO games that I do, there is no shot clock, so applying Calif HS girls rules exception is inappropriate. Just checked with my CYO assignor and got it confirmed that we play boys hs rules for girls games.
Been doing it wrong all season. I think other refs have as well.
Now THAT is eye-opening!
