Dear Rebecca: Seems logical but there’s a lot more to it including finances ($2k to $5k for equipment) then finding/paying a competent operator. Most CT schools not clamoring for it for those reasons and others.
P.S. I assure you plenty of the good folks
@ciacsports
have brains.
@RebeccaLobo
NFHS rules don’t allow it and states must follow their rules if they want to sit on rules committee, etc. Not that simple to “just add it” state wide.
@RebeccaLobo
You are correct, Rebecca. In the year 2018, there should be no high school basketball games without a shot clock. Period.

@RebeccaLobo
Agreed. Basketball is about scoring, or trying to stop the other team from scoring. Delaying and holding the ball out to minimize the difference in talent levels is ridiculous. That’s not basketball. Find another sport.
@RebeccaLobo
And who is going to pay for them? Us little schools don't have money for that. And then you have to find someone competent enough to run them. As a coach though, I'd like to see it happen. As an ad, sounds like a headache
@RebeccaLobo
Truly agree. Please Please get a shot clock in Louisiana. The crazy thing is we have it for football and they are getting them ready for college but they won’t do it for basketball. Crazy

@BMikHawks
As a high school coach for many years in CT, we have tried but have been denied due to cost of a shot clock and cost to run the shot clock
@RebeccaLobo
How exactly is not having a shot clock a disservice to the players? OK does not have one. I’m not against it- just don’t see that it robs kids of anything. And yes-public schools all over are hurting severely for funding so that is a bigger issue than you would like to believe.
