MA uses a 30 sec clock for boys and girls and has for quite some time (1997 or 1998 for boys and before that for the girls). I would say that a defensive game on the boys side will result in a couple or 3 shot clock violations and at least a handful of rushed shots to beat the clock. It definitely comes into play more than a couple times a game and as a HS coach it certainly changes the way you coach.
