High School Shot Clock: Yes or No?

[firedoc]

We have used a shot clock on Long Island, NY for a number of years at the HS level. I think that it is a good thing since it helps prepare the kids for the college game. It s a 35-second clock. In my experience though it is very rare to have a shot clock violation. As a rule, the kids almost never hold onto the ball for that long a period.
