For NCAA Officials Only ...

As a non-college official, these are the nuances that I'm aware of (yet may not fully understand). There are probably more. Makes me hope that if Connecticut goes to a high school shot clock that the shot clock rules are as simple as possible.

And, of course, we've got guys at the table at some high schools who aren't the sharpest tools in the shed.

All that stuff you listed are reasons why I'm glad my state has not gone to a shot clock for HS. The NFHS is not a stellar rules-writing organization, there would be a lot of confusion; that's not even taking into consideration the competency of table crews or rules discipline of fellow officials.
