I hope not. I hope never, but it seems like we'll wind up with that eventually.

My own opinion is that the shot clock is actually ok as long as it's not ridiculously short (24 seconds) and you have people who know how to operate it.
If you have HS kids who are just filling in at the JV game after school, then it's a nightmare. But when it's run correctly, I think it helps the game. If nothing else, it eliminates the 2-minute "hold for the last shot". Blech.
Twenty-four seconds is fine for the pros, but the NCAA's 35 seconds is better for college. We use 30 seconds for HS here in MA, but I'd be more than willing to go to 35 seconds.
