Say what you will, but I think basketball OT is an issue the NFHS competition committee or the KHSAA BOC needs to take re-examine.

Give the players two, four minute periods to try and determine a winner. If that still doesn't determine a winner, IMO, an alternate approach needs to happen. Maybe they can come up with a better scenario or procedure.


Flashback to the 2011 state finals. Christian County & Rowan County went to double OT for the state championship. Imagine the nerves and the pressure the players & fans would feel . Both teams and the crowd would be hanging on to every shot like their life depended on it. Forty minutes of basketball wasn't enough to determine a winner. The five players that were on the court as the 2nd OT ended would get to step up to the free throw line in alternating fashion and have two shots. Most kids that play high school ball have been in their backyard or playing ball somewhere and played that scenario or something similar out in their head.

Is there a problem with that?

If this is an NFHS issue, what about the NCAA? NAIA? NBA? FIBA?
This is making a problem out of a solution, Pulp.
