NFHS Shot Clock Guidelines ...

[ilyazhito]

MD and DC both use a 30-second shot clock. MD still has a visible 10-second count, but DC uses a non-visible count based on the shot clock. DC and MD have used a 30/15 shot clock, with a 15-second reset for a kicked or fisted ball in the frontcourt. Perhaps they might change it to 20 before this season, but I'll have to wait for any announcements to make sure. Many gyms have shot clocks on the walls, and portable shot clocks are common in DC, but newer gyms tend to have shot clocks that are recessed and mounted on the backboards. I have to make sure where the shot clocks are when I walk in a new gym, just to get used to it, but I'm able to pick out where they are and accurately identify issues, based on a pre-game inspection of the facility, so it's not a big deal.
