I think most people (not everyone) but most, would agree that a shot clock would add to the game; however, the costs of employing an additional official to keep the shot clock would be an expense that many schools aren't willing to agree to assume. Plus, unlike college, it would be impossible for a "replay" to look at shot clock violations, which, event though probably wouldn't happen a lot, would still be another thing to complain about from fans, coaches etc, i.e.. was there an actual shot clock violation or not. So, in theory it would be great I think, but a tough thing to implement.

As far back as the early 2000's, various Christmas tournaments experimented with a one minute shot clock. I explicitly remember that one of those was the 5th/3rd at Lexington Catholic. In almost all of those games, there were maybe 1 or 2 violations, tops.

Replay is out of the question but a one minute shot clock gives you so much time that an official is probably going to be able to whistle play dead and ask the scorers table to reset it if needed.

A minute is just such a long time that it lessens the likelihood that a blown reset is going to effect the outcome of a game.
