NCAA men recently changed the rule for kick balls, only resetting the shot clock to 15 seconds if it was under 15 seconds, and keeping it if the violation occured with 15 or more seconds. As the shot clock has been adopted by some states in HS, my question is, in HS do we apply the college rule, or do we continue resetting the shot clock to the full time on all kick ball violations?

That's up to your state's governing body. In MA, we are not using the new rule. A defensive kick, swinging of elbows, or unauthorized running OOB all result in a full reset of the shot clock.

Maryland is staying the same with resets just like MA. All defensive violations equal a new 30 in the women's game. (No shot clock for the boys).

NY girls: we use NCAA rules (with a small number of modifications) and are using the new rule. Should be a bit of an adventure to see the table try to reset the shot clock to 15...

That's exactly why MA is not doing it. You get a JV game and sometimes the kid doesn't even know how to set the game clock.

I have the feeling there will be lots of standing around while the shot clock is reset to 30, run down to 15, which can only be done by running the game clock down as well. Then we'll have to reset the game clock! Oy!!!

Needless to say, implementing this rule in NY wasn't my idea...
