Football: If you do not advance the ball 10 yards in four plays, the other team gets the ball.
Hockey: You can be hit to dislodge the puck.
Class A Basketball: If you do not execute a shot in 30/35 seconds that hits the rim, you lose the basketball, a rule that has led to the Class A game surpassing the B game in quality on every level.
Class B basketball: Hold the ball as long as you can, and if a defender has the audacity to get in your grill, the ref will bail you out with a foul.
By the way, the first three examples are not from professional sports. They are from high school sports in North Dakota. Have a nice day.....with the shot clock. Class B administrators voted for this. Your own think it's a good idea.

The shot clock does away with this, and we will finally see the phantom parity of Class B.
Perfect. Just perfect.

I saw a district 3 GBB game last night...Hillsboro(4-16) vs. Hatton-Northwood(11-10)...HN clearly with more talent, Hillsboro worked the clock endlessly, really limited possessions, and won 30-26. With a shot clock Hillsboro doesn't stand a chance in that game.

Good luck in regionals.

Call it what you want... I call that excellent coaching. Change the rules, and that coach may just figure out something else. But for now, that is brilliant.

The only other excpetion is hockey, and hockey at least allows a person to dole out a physical penalty for not attempting to score.
heimer wrote:A heck of a great job. Turned the game of basketball into the game of keepaway.
I haven't seen a good game of keepaway since the playgrounds at 6 or 7 years old.
Maybe we can get a football coach to turn a game into an organized game of smear and trumpet his accomplishments.
