CT doesn't have a shot clock, but some of the prep school leagues use one. I've seen it done with a 2-person crew.

The Eastern Shore of Maryland is all 2 person (until Region semis or finals) and we have the shot clock for girls.

Mass. uses the clock and two officials. Clock is 30 seconds for boys and girls, -- V, JV, Freshman -- but there is no 10-second backcourt count in the girls' game. I know only one league that does not use the clock at the freshman level.

I "think" Ca, NY, and Mass. does. Any others?

Varsity only?

Boys AND Girls contests?

Time?
30 sec? 35 sec? 10 second count apply? Etc.....

Pros/Cons??

Three years ago the NFHS considered adding this as a state adoption. At that time they stated that seven states used a shot clock. Six of them have been mentioned in this thread: CA, ND, MD (girls), WA (girls), NY, and MA. I can't recall the 7th.

Could you please specify because I used to call there and St. Alban's, Gonzaga, St. John's, etc. did NOT employ a shot clock. If they do now, then it is a recent change.

Not quite true. Some of the private schools (i.e. The Potomac School) use it for girls. Don't remember any schools using it for boys.

Nevada: It's been a while since I worked a private school game in DC, but I know that some of the teams in the ISL (at least on the girl's side) use the shot clock. Two of the last games I called last year were GV 3-whistle games at Episcopal and Maderia, and the shot clock was used.

Is Episcopal the one with the old brick gym? If so, isn't it in VA?

I called boys games there, but never girls. They did not use a shot clock for those.

CA also has a 4-point line and 15-seconds in the key! :p

Should have seen WA's head coach's jaw drop when we were explaining those "differences"

:p

Yep, it's the one on Seminary Road. As you may recall, Episcopal plays in the Independent School League (ISL), as does St. Stephens/St. Agnes, Madeira, GTown Visitation, yada, yada, and the shot clock is used on the girl's side. IREFU2 had mentioned that the shot clock was not used in VA, and I only wanted to point out that it is in fact used (for private school girls) in VA.

BTW, IIRC, Episcopal was founded in the late 1800's. That gym is OLD!
