I've had a game like this once in over ten yeas of varsity ball. I Loved It! A nice break. Now if it was 2-3 times a season, that would be a whole different story.
By the way my partner missed a travel in the game. With A1 holding the ball he lifts his right foot and wiped the dust off it and then about a minute latter he did the same with his left foot. |

Lack of sufficient action
One of the neat things about being old is that I was actually alive to witness (through the media) some of the oddities of "stallball."
I remember when USC stalled against UCLA (with Lew Alcindor) and a great photo in the sports pages the day after was Alcindor standing in the key, on defense, and reading the game program. I attended a high school game in the 80's where a smaller Oregon School had two 7'0 brothers. The visiting team stalled the first half and it was 4-0. I went home. And finally, when I was a high school coach we used the UNC "Four Corners" offense. My point guard was NOT Phil Ford but she could whip any other girl one-on-one. T |

The Villanova game plan was worked to perfection against Georgetown. From a fan's standpoint, it was a fun game to watch. Even with no 3 point line, the underdog managed 9 for 10 shooting in the second half and they pulled off a huge win. The advent of the shot clock shortly thereafter took away those opportunities to see games like that ever again. For the number of times that an "actionless" contest occurs, adding an expense to schools (see numerous threads on why states do not go to mandatory 3 crew games) and the chance for more errors at the table seem to be counterproductive in my view.
Don't like the stall? Play tight defense and get a five second count.

I was one of the three officials working the game and it was boring, but I have NO PROBLEM with the decision to hold the ball.

Play tight man to man defense, and it won't be an issue. Can't play tight man to man? Not anyone else's problem.

Fortunately, we only saw the stall-ball once in our tourney. (Easton/Hodgdon, for Gapper's interest.) Of course, the cries for the shot clock come, but considering a shot comes every 16 seconds, on average, I don't see the point.

Also had a team stall upon inbounding the ball to begin the 3rd quarter. I am glad I was the lead official. I did not know if the player holding the ball had pivoted or dribbled. Luckly, she passed the ball when they decided to run a play. hear is a thought.... if we know Team A is going to stall until 1 minute to play in the quarter and Team B does not want to apply pressure, then can we call an official TO, shorten the quarter to 1 minute and pick up where we left off with Team A inbounding the ball? |

The coaches have to decide, with the approval of the referee. See post #8

The team that Hoosiers was based on. I believe Milan held the ball for the last 3 1/2 minutes before Bobby Plumb(Jimmy Chitwood to you hoosier fans) took the last shot. I also believe he had missed his last 10 shots. 3/18 at an art cinema theater in Chicago, they are having a one night showing of Hoosiers followed by a discussion led by the Chicago Tribune film critic along with a sports columnist. Bought tickets a month ago. |
