Travel costs are increasing and officials fees have jumped a lot in the last few years, especially with mileage fees going up. There is also talk of having 3 man crews at all reg season district games....more money there. Schools just don't have the extra money to put in shot clocks. Plus it is absolutely unnecessary and I hope the NDHSAA never passes it for class B.

I spose a shot clock would be 35 or 40 seconds. It is not necessary at all. It is not used in many states at all.
Another thread shows a figure of something like 85% of states do NOT have a shot clock. We do NOT need it. Work on the D. Get committed to being a great defender, etc.

toughregion2 wrote:A shot clock in class b would be about a 45 second one. Lets watch a game and see how many possesions go 45 seconds. VERY VERY VERY FEW you see it at the end of the half maybe but, not much anywhere else in the game..If its not broke dont fix it.
I dont think it turns to many people off to class b basketball. Watch tv during state tournemants and youll see my point.

As well as Minnesota playing halves..They are thinking of going to the shot clock within two years, 2010 season. I suggested that Class B should adopt both for the sake of making it easier for College coaches to compare stats of high school ballers if they all played the same format of time span, shot clock, etc.

shot clock has NO effect on a game so how is it helping the game so much? Smart source i also remember you posting youve never seen a class B game over 60 points. this posts also counters that arguement...
as for BHS playin more intense defense. thats maybe true because they have more players choose from? just thought i guess. Class B teams can run an intense defense for periods of time but not a whole game because they dont have the numbers to simply shuffle players in and out to keep that pressure up and still keep a solid basketball team out there
