Shot Clocks in High School Basketball - Coach Scott Fields
|
I will be the first to say I don't have all the answers, but I do want to start the dialog and ask the right questions to start the movement.
Isn't it time to evolve as a basketball community? isn't it time to grow the game and assist the players with their development? isn't it about the kids and players? or is it about the coaches and their win records? isn't it about making the game fun to play and make the product entertaining to watch for fans?
Let us be proactive- Let us evolve and make the game better in each state that still does not have a shot clock.
Each state has a high school athletic association. I will take the time to research and locate each high school athletic association. I will provide e mail addresses for each of these associations.
Let us collect signatures and take to these Associations and press them to get a SHOT Clock in each state.
The National Federation of State High School Associations or the NFHS
P.O. Box 690
Indianapolis, In. 46206
Ph 317 972 6900
fax 317 822 5700 www.nfhs.org
Who is with me? Who will take the lead in each State? Who will start collecting signatures and take to these associations?
This is something bigger than myself. I will need the help from many.
allow me to present you some facts as I found on a search drive.
in 2013 there were 8 states who had a shot clock (in alphabetical order)
1) California
2) Maryland
3) Massachusetts
4) New York
5) North Dakota
6) Rhode Island
7) South Dakota
8) Washington
in the next few seasons two more states were added to the list
1) Michigan
2) Texas
Now some more facts to think about.... California is the number 1 state for NBA players ? interesting thought: New York is the number 2 state in NBA players and Maryland is the number 7 state to have NBA players.
of the two states to later institute the shot clock Michigan is number 11 in NBA players and Texas is number 6 when it comes to NBA players.
This information from Ethan Morof on a twitter blog from the past.
The NBA instituted the shot clock 1954 at 24 sec
NBA G league has a 24 sec shot clock
FIBA, instituted the shot clock at 30 sec in 1956
WNBA had a 30 sec shot clock and then switched to 24 sec in 2000
NCAA had a 45 sec shot clock and it was reduced to 35 sec shot clock in 93-94
The high school in the united states listed above have either a 35/30 sec shot clock.
The shot clock is used to of course speed up the game. the shot clock gives a rhythm to the game, it provides a tempo to the game.
I have coached at all levels of the game. (see my bio at coachscottfields.com)
I am eager to work on this to better the game. There have been many great articles in the past written on this topic. There have been social media accounts in the past. I just want to add gas to the fire !
The Following is the National High School Athletic Associations contact information. These are listed by state. I am looking for representatives from each state. Lets evolve the game. I care about the Game. I care about the development of the Game.
Thanks for your help, Thanks for your leads to make a network to get the right people involved to "GET A SHOT CLOCK IN EVERY STATE" in the United States.
