According to this USA today article:

State high school associations that allow a shot clock in basketball

State: Boys, Girls
California: 35 seconds, 30 seconds
Maryland: none, 30 seconds
Massachusetts: 30 seconds, 30 seconds
New York: 35 seconds, 30 seconds
North Dakota: 35 seconds, 30 seconds
Rhode Island: 35 seconds, 30 seconds
South Dakota: 35 seconds, 35 seconds
Washington: 35 seconds, 30 seconds

I wonder why the difference in times between boys and girls?

Again, it's a 2-year old thread. Use the "go to the new post" icon from the main page to avoid this.

No doubt, to reflect the differences in the college game.

Broadcaster(who always buys rulebooks to at least TRY to understand what calls are). I live in a cornet of MN near the SD/ND/MN border. I said that because I forgot to read all the psts and originally made a post on MN before I saw it was answered so I deleted the previous post.

Frankenstein's Monster ...
 

In the Constitution State, prep school varsity games, both boys, and girls, use a shot clock. Prep schools use a hybrid version of NFHS, and NCAA, rules.

How Can I Say This Delicately ???
 

Shut up.

California has Shot clock at all levels of HS. 30 for ladies and 35 boys. Plus no 10 sec backcourt count for ladies.

Question: The only 3 situations I know of to re-set the shot clock are:

1) Foul

2) ball hits rim

3) Kick ball

Are there others??

Billy:

I apologize for misspeaking for the Nutmeg State. It is has been a few years since I last officiated in the Starter Girls' Summer Classic and back then there was no shot clock for H.S. basketball.

P.S. AP, :p.

It's a money thing.
We'd love to have it here, but GHSA rightfully won't require the schools to purchase the equipment. Some say it's either work 3-person crews or sacrifice that for other "niceties"......I'll take 3-person ANY day.

No clock in AZ

Change of possesion, but thats a no brainer lol. I always use the acronym KFCR when I talk to my shot clock operators. It seems to make it easier for them to remember that way.

Kick
Foul
Change of possesion
Rim

Might as well include the end of a period while we at it! :D

Not sure about NFHS since there is no consistent rule from state to state, but I assume most take their ques from NCAA. Just one point, on a kick it would only reset if showing 14 or less, and then only reset to 15.

Edit: Thats for mens, not sure on the womens side.
