Sometimes I don't understand why the Federation won't follow the NCAA, NBA, and FIBA's lead and mandate tenths of a second in the final minute. The major manufacturers already have adopted tenths and some scoreboards are under $2,000. Daktronics and Trans-Lux have been making tenths units since 1989 as they were in the NBA (Daktronics, White Way, and Barco are the three major brands used in the NBA), so the first generation of older bulb units will be for sale soon for smaller schools as larger schools give away their units in favor of the newer LED types (all new units are LED), which cost much less in the long run because of the power usage. They can also retrofit the boards.
Furthermore, the red light rule could be instituted where a red light on the basket or clock could be used to signal the end of period when the horn does not sound. That solution does not cost more than $500.
