Shot Clock

MSHSAA doesn’t care what the members think. It was very obvious after the area meetings that they are going to institute the shot clock whether it is wanted or not. They are under a lot of pressure from the coaches association to do so. Not sure why they would side with them over the members, but they have.
Whether its this question or another, why would it be "GOOD" to not care what the majority of members think?
I didn’t say you shouldn’t care. But so what? It’s good for the game. The members are often horrifically wrong.
It won’t be so good for the game when the schools don’t have someone to operate it properly and the officials don’t know how to call it properly.
If Arkansas can figure it out, Missouri will too. There will be some bumps along the way
The Troy Tournament will have them. Shot Clocks and LED Backboard Lights were installed last week.
I've heard the Carthage Tournament is a NO.
Not sure why though. Maybe they just don't want to worry about the headache of buying/installing/training for a 3 day tourney??
Republic had a press release back in August that said they would consider it...haven't seen or heard anything since then.
SO who decides if you can use a shot Clock or not? Doesnt this have to be fully approved by MSHSAA? Like, it seems some events and schools are picking and choosing whwtwher it will be used or not. I am in favor of a shot clock, but until it becomes sanctioned why are we even using them.
only at tournaments and shootouts and its up to the host. Now, from what I have seen, hosts, are asking teams that are participating if they want it or not...
Guidelines from MSHSAA said it could only be used if all participating teams in a tournament agreed to it.
Obviously many of you have not been at small schools where the talent level is very low. Iowa has had several girls teams forfeit the season because they couldn't get girls out. I had a team of six girls. The shot clock would have made it even harder on them.
Have a feeling that the Blue and Gold and the Pink and White will I guess be a NO, bc of just the amount of teams that would have to agree to it, but could be completely wrong.
