Your state sits between CA and Washington, both of which have a shot clock for HS girls basketball. You will now have one next year. Be thankful.

That is the main reason why WA went to the shot clock for Girls games a number of years ago. There were too many games like this. Not sure why we added the shot clock on the Boys side, but we have it on both now.

The money isn't there for 3 man/women officiating crews so I don't think a shot clock is on the horizon either....

I do have to say though I've done a ton of high level GV games over the last couple of years and even the worst teams in the worst games still attacked and at least attempted to score. They would put up shots if they were open and no they often didn't go in but at least they attempted to score....more so then I can say for the game I watched last night.

In the summer here, there is a NCAA sanctioned summer tournament and I've been told it's the largest girls tourney in the country. Really good ball and they use NCAA-W rules which include a shot clock. It's fun for officials like me who don't get to use a shot clock at all during the year and I'm surprised since most of the teams come from non-shot clock states how few times the shot clock is an issue.

I still think the game last night was the exception to the rule...or at least I hope it is!

In NYS we use the shot clock for girls and AA boys (our highest level). Other than the few leagues willing to pay for a third official and the later rounds of the playoffs we use two-person crews.

Have no fear. If your leagues want to do it, money is no object!
