You work NCAA games, right? How often do you have shot clock issues in a game?

It isn't any higher (and quite often is lower) per game than any of the college games I work.

I find it hard to believe that HS in your area are getting better table personal than colleges and/or that they are spending more time training them correctly. Regardless, this would definitely not be the case where JRut and I work HS games.

We have enough problems in NCAA games with trained personnel that I do not want to deal with it in HS games with untrained personnel.

It may work great where you are, but I know from what I've seen around these parts I don't want it in my HS games.

This cracks me up...ALL of the things people are saying about the shot clock were said here when the idea first came up. Seriously - every single argument you guys are making came up here also.

Like I said...in the end, it really wasn't that big of a hassle.

Oh well...

There's also the fact that I don't think HS games need a shot clock.

Well that is great, but cost is the most important thing anyway. And that is why I do not feel the NF is going to make a rule that would require every jurisdiction to add this rule. Even if they did, I would see some states saying "Not yet...."
