A video of a high-school boys’ varsity basketball team allegedly holding the ball for the entire first quarter of a playoff game circulated on social media again recently. I initially replied: “We should develop players like in Europe.” Okay. 24-second shot clock starting at U13.
I remember hearing Don Showalter say on a podcast that when he has taken USAB U16 and U17 teams to play in FIBA competitions that the players pretty much all love the shot clock.
I miss the 45 second shot clock at college and fully support it for HS. It negates all the counter arguments against a shot clock and still gives more time for weaker teams to find a good shot. Just a thought.
