They probably lobbied the NFHS to add it and were unsucessful and chose to thumb their noses at the NFHS and used one anyway.
Camron,

The NF has many states doing experimental rules and the states using the Shot Clock is one of them. Illinois for example used an experimental mechanic one year and was used the next. We also are using an experimental rule last year and this year, it might be used in the future. None of those things Illinois are using are going against the NF. The NF suggested it.

Peace
I agree that there are often expermiments that the NFHS approves and encourages. The shot clock may actually be one of the current ones. However, several states have been using the shot clock for many, many years. It has not been as an experiment but because they disagree with NFHS over the benefit or the need for one.
