Here's my concern: If you get a shot clock for every varsity, JV, and freshmen game (they'd likely pass on middle schools), you'd be dealing with a lot more coaching complaints and table errors than time expirations.

"Why was/wasn't the clock reset? They did/didn't get possession of the ball!"

For all of the complaining about stall ball, there'd be a lot more complaining about more serious issues, like errors that could actually affect a game.

By the way, Panther, I'm guessing you've been to the Bangor Auditorium, and you're right. Stall ball indeed happens, but I always say it takes two teams to stall. If you don't want your opponent to stall, go get the ball. You might just come up with it.
