My only problem is why is a last second shot in the championship more important than a last second shot in the first game of the tournament?

Depending on how your state interprets "State Championship Series," replay could be legal for any state tournament game.

Of course, this also depends on how your state conducts its tournament.

That's a good point jdw. To be honest, I didn't realize "Series" was included in the rule. Since I knew Illinois wasn't going to use it I didn't read it at all.

I suppose that could be a reason they decided against it. While it could be used in the first game of the tournament, it is very unlikely there would be equipment for the officials to use. Therefore, no-go for the whole series.

I really have no idea why Illinois decided against it, but as I said this could be one of the factors.

Maybe Jeff can step in and help me (us) out as I'm sure he's in the loop a lot better than me regarding those decisions.
