Is anyone aware of instant replay being used Officially here in Missouri? Has MSHSAA said anything on the matter?
Sometimes there’s a last-second shot at a game and no one knows “for sure” if it counted.

With cameras and video recorders most everywhere you turn nowadays, one has to think that it might come sooner than we think. And it doesn’t have to be an “expensive” venture either.
 
I believe it is against the rules for officials to use photo or video evidence. I think it’s a technical for a player or coach to show it to an official.

If you ever get that started it will be expanded to a lot to so called crucial calls and the games will take forever just like in college now. A wrong call in the first few minutes that gives a player a foul or takes a foul away can be real big in the 2nd half when he or she fouls out.
I still say in college the the officials review so many calls near the end of a game the players should NOT be allowed to go to the bench, they should have to go stand across the floor so if the coach wants shout instructions everybody can hear it. The way it is now they get about 6 free timeouts every game and most of them are in the last couple of minutes when they get short on timeouts.

Abolish the turbo clock first.

Let's get real, as long as there isn't a shot clock — the turbo clock is a fraud. All you need to do — if you're embarrassed in your abilities and the nature of the game and want it to end as quickly as possible — is to get the ball, dribble or move it across half court, and stand there and let the clock run out.

The rules should allow you to effectively "give up" and be able to do so in the fourth quarter without being guarded.

If you opt to play, then the game should proceed without any gimmicks..

I've never liked the turbo clock. It greatly reduces the time some end of the bench players get to play. I don't really see what problem it cured.

Agree 100%. It didn't cure any problem and encourages the team with a 30-point lead to foul on purpose to run out the clock. If we have to have it, at least stop the clock on fouls and free throws.

That would pretty much the defeat the purpose of having it, taking the ball out of bounds doesn't run much time.

When I taught at Northwest and we were losing 20+ games a year, I saw several teams with 30 and 40 point leads start committing cheap fouls. I was afraid someone would get hurt.

Before I was at Northwest, I was at Wright City. We were trailing something like 72-20 in the closing seconds and the opposing player slammed our 3-point shooter to the ground. It should have been an intentional foul and time expired before our player could shoot his three free throws.

I didn't say I was for or against the running clock, I just said if they have it, stopping the clock for free throws would wipe out the idea of a running clock. I've asked people many times why official won't call the intentional for to stop the clock as the rule is written. The one you described should be a flagrant foul which is still 2 shots and the ball or could be ejection if a flagrant 2.
