Didn't they eliminate the shoot arounds a few years ago, too? When we made it to state those were vital because none of us had ever shot in a gym without a wall behind the hoop before. I've never shot more airballs in my life than in the first 15 minutes of those practices before you get your mind to adjust. I'm sure the reason is because of missing school time, but we are talking about 8 teams per season missing an extra half day of school. If the NDHSAA is really that worried about missing school why do they continue to have 1st round of regionals on a Monday in which 16 teams per season are playing a game that starts before school even lets out! Plus then you get every other kid getting an excused absence to go watch. At least the shoot around only involve the players.

Having fans behind the basket creates an electric atmosphere that just wouldn't be the same they were eliminated. I completely understand backing them away from the actual baseline 5-10 feet away. But getting rid of them completely? Horrible idea.
