Does not having a shot clock lead to stalling tactics at the end of high school games in the states?
It does....in a few games.

But it also leads to teams putting up fewer bad shots....24 seconds to get off a shot is just too quick for several HS teams and probably most JV teams. I'd rather them play with better fundamentals and work for a decent shot vs. just throwing something toward the rim as time runs out.

It the time were higher...35, maybe 45, seconds, it might not be such a bad idea.
