1 - Any support or freedoms they can give to encourage shot clock.
2- Allowing players on the lane to leave on the release, and eliminating the wiping off of made baskets for violations made by teammates on the lane. 3 - Any removal on restrictions or application of as many fashion police items as possible. 4 - 1 TC/PC mechanic. 5 - Lets make "over the back" an actual thing so that players/coaches/fans can acutally properly ask for something.

Direct T, with no shots....what would that be for? What would be worth a T but no shots? Lead does administer such throw-ins, in two man All mechanics are already just guidelines. They should usually be followed, but they are still just guidelines.

APG: I know that I am "old school" to a degree and that I can be obstinate sometimes when the Rules Committees (NFHS, NCAA Men's/Women's) make rules changes that make no sense. I do not have a problem with a rule change that makes the game better. What I am against is a change of the rules that addresses a situation that occurs once in 1x10**100 (I am engaging in some hyperbole here.) plays which when this extremely rare play occurs The Rule of Unintended Consequences rears its ugly head. I don't want to go into detail but I think the Correctable Error rule change about 20 years or so ago is one change that was one that was not needed but the excuse given was it made the game fairer, even though CEs, that while not extremely rare, do not occur so frequently that the rule needed to be changed. The POI rule is one that makes the rules more complex than they need to be. I am a firm believer in putting the ball back into play in the order that "things" happen. But still, I have not, am not, and will not lose any sleep over the POI rule even though I would get rid of it if I could be the Basketball Czar for a day. What really fries my tuchus is the TF rule in both the NFHS and the NCAA Men's/Women's (I am not in favor of the change in the NCAA Men's Guarding Rule change of this past season, so see my Basketball Czar comment above.). The page size of the NFHS and NCAA Men's/Women's rules books are approximately the same size. The TF section in the NFHS Rules is five pages and in the NCAA Men's/Women's Rules is eight pages. The page size of the NBCUSC (forefather/mother of the NFHS and NCAA Men's/Women's) 1971-72 Rule Book is the same size as today, yet the TF section is only two pages long. (I resisted the urge to make the font size the same size as the number of pages, .) I have a Bachelor of Engineering degree with major in Civil Engineering (specialization in Structural Engineering and Highway Engineering) and a double minor in Mechanical Engineering (specialization in Engineering Mechanics) and Mathematics (specialization in Scientific and Engineering Applications) so I think that I am a fairly intelligent person. BUT my brain just explodes every time I read the NCAA TF section (The NFHS section just makes my head hurt like Charlie Brown's.). The most important rule in engineering design is: KISS (Not the band for you head bangers out there, .). Keep It Simple Stupid! The NFHS and NCAA has not done that and there is no reason for such complexity in the TF section. The TF sections should be no longer that three pages and still accomplish what the Rules Committees goals. I didn't intend for this post to be so long (who am I kidding, ), but seriously, if I could be Basketball Czar for just one day I would abolish the AP Rule, . I hope that answered your question. Now I have to wonder if MTD, Jr., and I are going to have a H.S. baseball game to umpire this afternoon. Our game yesterday was canceled because there was one inch of snow on the ground and today the high is supposed to be 45F with wind chill temperatures in the mid-30Fs, and the home school is on Spring Break and we can't get in contact with the AD or HC. Have a good one. MTD, Sr.

But most of all this is going to be a cost issue. Schools that can barely afford athletics as it is will have to take on another expense. And in many cases will have to put in something in different gyms. Schools are having a problem getting uniforms for all their sports and now they will have to add thousands of dollars for a device? And yes not every school is funded the same way across the country. Many school districts are funded by property taxes and that means some schools have much more money than the other based on the community and house prices. I think that is one of the reason the NF is not going to touch this rule anytime soon. I am sure it is much worse in some other states. Peace

I know here in VA, you pay your taxes, THEN you pay ~$100 for the honor of having your child participate in a V sport, and THEN you have to pay again at the game to see them play. Nice (sarc).
Yep, cost will certainly be a discussion point for shot clocks.

You can get individual clocks for less 300 and a decent package with two clocks and the wireless device to run them for less than a thousand. If the high school kids run a summer day camp for elementary aged kids and charge them 50 bucks a pop and give them a 5 dollar tshirt and a week of basketball you've got them paid for. You are talking about half the cost of 1 set of nice uniforms.

How many HS in one area do you think can do this? You need customers for a camp. And if there are 10 camps going on in one area, not every camp is going get enough money.

The bolded portion means it is still a problem. And we, at least around here, do not need the added headache. Not just a question of compentent table personnel, also competent officials.

The only positive for me is I can solve shot-clock problems in my NCAAW games in a heartbeat because I'm so used to checking the thing from my HS games.

Agree, but let's not forget that all team control fouls aren't exactly the same as all player control fouls.
