It can work. Not suggesting that it cannot work overall. I just do not like it if I had a choice. If anything, get rid of quarters and extend the game by 2 minutes per half. I think that would make a better game not the shot clock.

Peace

We already play 18-minute halves.

For many schools, this is a solution in search of a problem. An expensive one, at that.

I may see if I can start working the shot clock once in a while, though. Gotta find the next career once I get sick of officiating.

So much for using National Federation Rules strictly. Not sure where that idea of states doing their own thing came from?

Maybe Massachusetts, where we were early adopters of the shot clock (way back in the early-to-mid 90s) and used halves for years before switching back to quarters 3 years ago.

Does Wisconsin give up an NFHS vote for doing this? I believe the shot-clock states already give up their votes.

Playing 18-minute halves has cost us our vote, if I understand the NFHS correctly.
