NCAA Rules that NFHS or State Associations should try out?

Concerning the questions about the stoppage of clock in final minute after made basket & having to add time, not all scoreboard controls have the capability to do the tenths of a second entry (the operator has to input the next second higher & be precise on when to stop the time).

How many of the rules/regulations that the NCAA uses do the NBA, WNBA, & FIBA use?

As I see it the rules should be universal throughout all levels.

While i am all in favor of a unified rules set, you arguments for doing so have no merit. There will be the same number of spots open on college teams each year...changing to a shot clock doesn't make teams have more openings. Perhpas you were refering to having more of the existing freshman playing more time...not help there either as the sophomores/juniors/seniors will still be more experienced and shot clock familiarity is certainly not the biggest factor in playing time.

How many possessions, in an average HS game, do you really see lasting more than 35 seconds w/o a shot? Very few. I've worked many games that would have never come close to a shot clock violation. The shot clock will only affect a small number of players/games anyway.
