Fair enough. I wonder if he'll say whether that's the case.

Secondly it is never going to completely stop coaches from complaining. Nothing will ever stop coaches from doing that. But giving a signal will greatly help as did the Team Control Foul signal did. Before the TC foul, we had to explain why were not shooting FTs. Now the coaches see the signal and understand the concept without a word.

I completely agree with that statement. I hope it causes coaches to yell at their players to get closer to get the count back on instead of yelling at us that we should keep the count going.

With no signal, the coach doesn't know if you're blind or have poor judgment. With, the signal, he'll know what to complain about.

From the NFHS press release of May 7, 2007:

"The final revision approved by the committee was changing the warning horn for a 30-second time-out to be sounded with 15 seconds remaining. This change makes all warning horns uniform for intermissions, time-outs and the disqualified player interval."

Or as Borat would say "I've always wanted to NOT!!!!! look like a mime".

Just wondering..... what states other than ours use the shot clock for girls and boys? We use college rules governing the shot clock except for the newer kicked ball violation -- in hs it is still reset on any kicked ball.

No shot clock in VA.

There are only SEVEN states that use a shot clock in either girls or boys HS play.

Some of the New England prep schools use it.

Regular leagues in CT don't.

See corrections above.

Also, what's with not listing the states? Is this a Jeopardy! clue??

[sseltser]

In NY, Boys use NFHS with a shot clock.

Girls use NCAA W

I can't believe that private school students do not correctly pronounce "seconds".

I've listed them on this forum before and you know that. BTW the statement that SEVEN states currently use a shot clock in HS is the official word from the NFHS office.

But just for you...
CA (both), MA (both), NY (both), MD (girls), WA (girls), ND (both, Class A only), [I'm missing one more at the moment. I'll look it up and edit this.] and some private school leagues in various areas such as VA (girls) and a strange multi-state monstrosity called the New England Preparatory School Athletic Council.

You are mistaken. You many think that you use the NCAA rules for the shot clock in CA HS games, but in truth your official policy is to employ the rules modifications published in the CBOA manual which were written by Bill White.
