18 minute halves has been a great change in Minnesota. Coaches are learning to use their benches so that there is more participation which was one of the stated goals when they brought it in. Also it eliminates the holding of the ball at the end of the 1st and 3rd qtr. Games get into a great flow and play very smoothly.

Where are you from Jeff? This was not the case in the games I have worked, or the coaches I have talked to. I am from IA, but close to MN and worked about 6 games in MN the last few years. I guess it depends on who you talk to.

I am in the twin cities. I noticed the sloppiness more last year. Teams seem to have adjusted better this year. Where in IA are you?

[QUOTE=tjones1]Just got the e-mail that it had been posted. So I went over and took it really quick.

As always, I post the "Would you favor" questions, here they are this year. If you want to take the survey you've got to be a NFHS member and can do so by logging in at http://www.nfhs.org

Would you favor:

1. Playing the game in 16-minute halves by state association adoption. YES

2. Playing the game in 18-minute halves by state association adoption. YES

3. Permitting a shot clock by state association adoption.NO

4. During a free throw, moving all players up one space and leaving the two marked lane spaces closest to the end line vacant (currently spaces nearest the shooter are vacant). NO

5. After shooting the free throws for a technical foul, putting the ball in play at the point of interruption (currently the ball is awarded to the offended team at half court). YES

6. Changing to a 20-second interval for replacement of a disqualified player (currently 30-seconds). YES

7. Adding a fifth delay warning for a team huddling at the sideline during the disqualified player replacement interval. YES

8. Stopping the game clock after a successful goal when there is less than one minute remaining in the fourth quarter (or any overtime) and restarting the game clock when the ball is touched inbounds. NO

9. During state championship contests, permitting game officials to use courtside replay equipment to determine if a try for field goal at or near the expiration of time should be counted, and if counted, determine its value, by state association adoption. NO

I think a shot clock would be nice but with budget problems in schools already such an issue it would be hard to get continuity. Also - another problem area at the table - where it is already difficult to find people to work.
