High School & Shot Clocks?
#27
rojas Wrote:College basketball actually slowed when the shot clock came into use. The reason? Teams had no more incentive to force the action on defense. Coaches started having their teams lay back in zones instead of aggressive man-to-mans.

Seven states — California, Massachusetts, New York, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota and Washington — have adopted a shot clock for boys basketball. An examination of 137,000 boys basketball scores collected by MaxPreps this season provides little to suggest that scoring and entertainment value go up when the shot clock goes on.

In fact, scoring averages are actually higher in states that do not use a shot clock (104.2 combined points per game) than the seven states with a shot clock (101.4 combined points per game).

If this is the case the argument is moot. Anyway it's style of play just like football in the mountains. A good amount of teams run it and bore me to death.
