Was it not you that said that everyone should follow NF rules to the letter? Is that a NF experimental rule or are you guys doing that on your own?

Rut,

I said that individual interpreter's should not alter NFHS rules and mechanics just because they think they know better or because they are trying to apply college mechanics to a high school game. But that isn't just my opinion, the NFHS has sent out bulletins as well stating that no person has the right to change NFHS mechanics or rules. It is a constant source of frustration for them.

But since you asked about the shot clock (which is a state adoption rather than an individual adoption)..... I wish our state did not use a shot clock for girls basketball since it is not approved by NFHS. In fact, there was a motion made to remove the shot clock from girls basketball in our state this year. From what I understand, the motion would have passed except that our state got wind that the NFHS might be approving a shot clock for girls and boys basketball in the next couple of years. Now I hear that the boys teams in our state are excited about getting to implement a shot clock as well in the next couple of years if that info is true.
