Shot clock in HS Hoops

[chseagle]

During the halftime of Hoover vs. Hillsboro Girls' game at the 2009 T-Mobile Invitational national high school basketball tournament, Mary Struckhoff (one of the asst. directors of the NFHS) was interviewed. There was a mention of the shot clock. According to Mary, NFHS has been having this discusion for about the past 10 years.

Should the NFHS adopt the shot clock or should this decision stay with the State Associations?

The NF can do whatever they want but high schools won't buy them if they can't afford them and there's plenty of high schools who can't.

Would I like a shot clock in the high school game? Yes. Don't think we'll see it for a while though.

Agreed.

I would like a shot clock so players aren't just passing the ball around, wasting time off the clock. It tends to get boring easily.

But, it probably won't happen for a while. And when NFHS does instate the Shot Clock, it won't be required by all schools for another 4 or 5 years after that, knowing that some schools may not be able to afford it right away.

I would at least like to see it available as an official state option

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...

... the same.

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

In a couple of the online articles, there was mentioning that some schools even have a hard time finding personnel to do table operations.

Actually, what she most likely means is they have been considering officially sanctioning the states' ability to adopt the shot clock. It's currently not "allowed," even though several states have adopted its use.

What states? I'm moving to any one of those states.
