Really?

We use a shot clock in new York and it causes, well, almost no problems. Sure, you ahve the occasional guy who falls asleep and doesnt start or reset it properly, but nothing major, really.

Problems with the operation of the shot clock are really a non-issue. I would guess the expense would be the major problem.

Expense and the fact that it doesn't allow coaches to make the best use of whatever talent happens to be at the school that year. If a HS team has a better chance of winning by taking the air out of the ball, they should be allowed to try to do so.

Agreed. The stall games are so rare they aren't really a problem.
