Minnesota approves HS shot clock for 2023

[BillyMac]

Quote from PIAA (Pennsylvania) executive director Bob Lombardi. “Some school administrators already consider the shot clock an "unfunded mandate" for schools, since they'd need to buy equipment and pay someone to operate it”.

Add Utah to the shot clock list.

California, Georgia, Iowa, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Washington, Montana, and Utah.

Not sure about Pennsylvania.

The dominoes are falling.

Nice article. While these concerns were provably not unanticipated, they are nevertheless still real.

Ditto.

When speaking with NY officials about when they implemented theirs, they didn't seem to think the transition was all that bad.
I see both positives and negatives to the addition of a shot clock in HS. It could potentially lead to some nice additional rules as well, that I'd be in favor of.
Then again, I have experience with shot clocks and I also know that no matter a good or bad operator, as an official, you still need to be on top of your clock management at every second...At worst though, you need 1 great clock aware official on a crew to fully manage a bad shot clock.

The article brings up an interesting point about the reasoning behind it and if there are better ways to better the game....
