Finding the funds to redo and add shot clocks to gyms wouldn’t be a cheap thing to do.

That's why either easing it in (most regional tournaments are at places where they could buy one tomorrow if they wanted) or an outright requirement that everyone has to do it makes the most sense. If every school had to have one, you've suddenly got hundreds needing purchased. Letting each region coordinate the deal to buy them is suddenly a good amount of purchasing power that will be more likely to get competitive rates. Teaching kids to hold the ball minutes at a time is the same as asking the shortest kid on the Little League team to go squat at the plate & refuse to swing in hopes of getting walked-- it does nothing to actually teach the game in a way that prepares you for the next level.
