UIL approves shot clock

[AggiesAreWe]

The UIL approved a mandated 35-second shot clock for basketball starting in 2028-29 school year for 6A and 5A, with other classes to adopt it in following years. 6A and 5A schools would have the option to use it in the 2027-28 school year.

 

Not too happy about this but unfortunately it will happen.

Think this is the wrong decision for 3A and below.

These seasons are subject to change and the UIL can meet on the subject again

6A/5A - no earlier than August 1, 2028

4A/3A - no earlier than 2030

2A/1A - no earlier than 2032

I agree that it'll affect the lower classifications a lot. That said, I actually will like it in the higher classifications.

Terrible. I dislike this a lot…

I am looking forward to this but hate how long I have to wait for small school level. I understand the cost argument for workers and finding people who do it but I grew up in a state that had it my entire life with no issues. Even at small schools there are solutions and ways that it can be handled. It adds a different dynamic to coaching for sure.
