Not having a shot clock for high school basketball in the year 2025 is absolutely insane. What is going on in Wisconsin?.
The WIAA Advisory Council today voted down adapting the shot clock for Wisconsin high school basketball. Kicking the can down the road for yet another yet, it appears. No shot clock for 2027-28 season and no provisional shot clock for 2025-26.

Victor trails Garden City 5-4 at halftime of the @NYSPHSAA Class B final. Very physical and choppy game so far, for better or worse, between two NYS titans. Should be an exciting second half.
