It's all in the eye of the beholder....

there is a small difference between slowing the game down and stalling....while most teams slow it down, some stall plain and simple

I've played in a game where the other team literally just held the ball at center court this was only 4 years ago.  A 35 second shot clock would be just fine its a wasted game when a team is holding the ball for over 3 minutes.  I actually really enjoyed watching trinity play because their kids have lots of discipline and know how to win while it wasn't very fun playing against them you knew you had to take a good shot and rebound or else you were going to get blown out of the water

For every strategy, there is a counter-strategy. If one team is holding the ball, the other team can come out and play pressure defense and make them play ball.

Well, if that's your opinion, than just stop going to Class B games.

amen its nice to be alittle different both classes dont have to be alike
