I don't know about the shot clock. I would guess the shot clock would result in even more passive zone defenses.

One rule I think should be enforced more often is the 5 second closely guarded rule. I think the NFHS says that if the defensive player is within 6 feet the count continues. Our officials won't call a five second rule unless the defensive player is within 2 feet.

I agree. It's the refs perception of how much 6ft is and a lot of them have no idea. Kindly like my wife, I've been telling her for years that 6inches is a foot, hehe.
