Bonus ...
 
I just realized that in the olden days there could be 24 total fouls by both teams in a game with no bonus free throws. That number has now increased to 32 total fouls by both teams in a game with no bonus free throws.

Now if the NFHS could just decease the number of jump balls in the game I would be happy camper.

Well the shot clock will help. And that really just means that they have to play some defense or they will go to the FT line and automatically give 2 shots. I really do not see the issue here. But the shot clock would allow a chance for better defensive situations and not have teams hold the ball.

My take away from this is that while we may have the same number of total free throws (due to two instead instead of one and one), we may have fewer free throw "activity events" (lining up kids on lane lines for each event). Of course, as JRutledge stated earlier, the shot clock will also have an impact on free throw "activity events" that may be hard to gauge, fewer free throw "activity events" due to a reluctance to foul (steeper penalty), or more due to a faster up-tempo shot clock game.
