Is this the line, at the twenty-eight foot hash mark, that separates the forecourt from the midcourt? How is it "utilized"?

SCalScoreKeeper:

When did the CIF adopt the shot clock for boys' basketball?

I have lived and worked in a state that uses the shot clock and one that does not. I agree with NFHS, it is not necessary in the high school game. It causes delays while officials and table crews discuss and make corrections when the shot clock is not operated properly which happens a lot. Stall ball is fine with me, if they want to keep the game moving, play defence within 6 feet.
