No shot clock. Keeps the high school game it's "signature". Like seeing teams having to use some strategy in those situations.
[/quote]There is no strategy in having a 10 pt. lead and you hold the ball. Intentional fouls getting to be too rough at times.

Excuse me, Dove-  Isnt earning a ten point lead and then trying not to allow the other team a chance to erase it considered a "strategy"?  As for intentional fouls being too rough, I would suggest that there are many "intentional" fouls that are too rough that take place in the course of a game, not just when a team is holding the ball.

One more thing Dove- I am VERY surprised you would advocate a shot clock.  Since you are a champion of the "little guy" and the" underprivileged" in general life terms,( as in making things as fair and equitable as possible for everyone) I would have assumed you would be very much in support of anything (no shot clock) that would give the less talented and less fortunate teams a chance to compete.

Watching Brewster Academy and Tilton Prep play on ESPN. They play with a shot clock. Personally, I'd give my vote for high schools in Texas to play with a shot clock.

Uil has be talking about a shot for a while. I think we are still five years away from seeing any true movement towards a shot clock.

Lot of difference in HS and college. For the reasons AAW and eastbb stated is why there needs to be no shot clock...

I bet there were people who said we didn't need the 3 point line either.
[/quote]A shot clock would benifit the bigger stronger faster and hurt the smaller schools more.    The three point line is fine. They just need to bring back the mid range jumper...lol
