Shot clock in HS Hoops

[chseagle]

An example of the shot clock, here in Washington State:

Girls have a 30-sec. Shot Clock (According to articles I've read online, the girls have had a shot clock since 1974)
Boys have a 35-sec. Shot Clock (this is the 1st year for the boys to have the shot clock)

From what I've read online, there's only 7-8 states that have a shot clock for either girls or boys.

30/35 seconds? I would've expected it to be maybe 35/40 or 40/45 because 30/35 is college...

When the WIAA Representative Assembly voted on adding the boys' shot clock in April they had the choice of either 30 or 35 seconds. They decided to do the 35-sec. shot clock.

The only thing to me that doesn't make much sense is that the girls don't have the 10-sec. BC count with the 30-sec. shot clock, yet the boys still have the 10-sec. BC count with the 35-sec. shot clock.

Speaking of the 10-sec. BC count, watching the Girls' games at the 2009 T-Mobile Invitational national high school basketball tournament, since neither the girls or boys here use the shot clock, the girls had the 10-sec. BC count, as well as the boys.

That's consistent with the NCAA-W and NCAA-M rules, with regard to the BC count.

Consistent with NFHS rules.

Personally, it makes no difference to me whether a shot clock is adopted or not.

And yes, good table people are hard to find.

Could that be because of not wanting to take the time to learn everything having to do with the table, or is it cause of the fact everyone would rather be a spectator?

It's because it's so difficult to pry the darn cell phone out of your average teenager's hands so they have the necessary appendages free with which to operate the clock or keep the scorebook.

Cell phone, PDA, Handheld Gaming Device, Portable DVD players...Are these all culprits?

Why just get the teenagers involved, get some parents involved as well or other adults.

Besides the aforementioned devices, the other problem with teenagers is that their friends want to be with them.

Exactly!

Me either. Unlike our neighbors to the north, Oregon does not use a shot clock during the regular HS season. For the End of the Trail tournament in July in Oregon City, they do use NCAA-W rules, including the 30 sec shot clock.

And yes, good table people are hard to find.

Sad but true. It would be nice if more people would get involved.

... the same.

Girls have no 10 second count in back-court as well.

I have never been able to understand why that is.
