Washington has shot clock for girls only. 30 seconds. No 10 second count in the back court.

I think it is a good thing as it allows for an easier transition into college ball for those girls who go on to play it.

What is the reasoning for using it for girls only? The biggest argument that I have seen against at the hs level is the cost involved..once you have the equipment why not use it for both? Boys play in college too

We do not use the shot clock here in NH for HS boys or girls, however many of the local Prep. schools do use the shot clock for both their boys and girls varsity games.

The same reason there are differences in men's rules and women's rules in college. Different ruling bodies. Washington is one of 2 (I think it's only 2) states that have separate governing organizations for boys and girls.

I am not sure why they only use for girls, but just how it has been here in WA for quite sometime. I would love to see it in the boys game too as it will make some teams shoot the ball and not hold and pass it for 3-4 minutes at a time.
