Don’t forget to volunteer to run said clock as well!
Ok, i see how you debate. Probably the same way you ref.
And cut the check for those clocks.
And I see how you react when someone disagrees with you. You resort to weak insults..... and refuse to answer the question. (do you expect a 14yr old kid to entertain you?)
It's the HS experience. It's why those gyms are filled with those aforementioned when the are two single digit win teams are playing late in the season.
It's not about "jacking up" a shot, it's about creating a shot. In my opinion many young men aren't looking to create, but simply be a cog within the offense. I get it we all have different opinions, but in the HS ball I've watched this year it needs a strong shot of scoring.
Employing the shot clock will be a boys and girls change. (for obvious reasons) Whether or not its used at levels below varsity will be up to each individual state.
Iowa mandates it for varsity, but leaves it open to levles below.The down side will be the one-on-one starting between the jump circle and the three point line as the clock is winding down.
The purpose of coaching HS basketball is to develop, of course you want to go out and try to win every game but the development is what parents look for when deciding on a school that lines up with their academic and athletic beliefs for their child. A shot clock in Ohio will force coaches to adapt but also develop guys to make decisions quicker as they would have to make at the next level. You can believe whatever you'd like but I am very well connected in the world of basketball
No it will force the coaches to put a system together that is effective and efficient no more holding the ball for two minutes because you don't believe your team can compete
Excellent post and I agree with most. I don't necessarily think they have to concern themselves so much with developing for the next level as much as just developing better players in general.
100% just developing a better player and helping them develop a strong basketball IQ that gives them the ability to play in any system that college would offer them
One would hope that to be true.......
The next level is for very few HS players. So if that is the goal it's truly the tail wagging the dog.
kinda loaded question bro, thats what im talking about with you. I mean I went to my daughters and sons games, plays, recitals for years from toddler age to teenage yrs and was entertained. What do you think the jump rope kids at halftime( which are top notch) are there for, entertainment Quit the undertones
Again for well over 90% of the players their last competitive basketball game will be in a HS gym.
Well, they are the players and they should not stray from what the coach wants them to run. If they do their own thing frequently they will be a spectator/waterboy soon.
There's a balance for sure. I just wish more coaches would give some additional freedom every now and then, especially when they struggle to score in some games.
Giving them too much freedom probably causes more struggles scoring which is why the coaches put in a certain offense.
Well, if a shot clock is coming, which looks to now have the door open, they're going to have to adapt some. You're going to need players than can create in situations where the shot clock is running down. Yes, I know about the stats on the time of possession, but you'll still need to prepare for it.
I am sure the coaches will adapt. Just means shorter sets and more bad shots.
Shouldn’t that be the goal? Are we teaching students to be good teammates or good one on one players? Five players working simultaneously toward one goal is kinda what high school sports should be about, right?
You brought up entertainment, not me......
Those kids are amazing. The fact that you are entertained (I'm in awe) is a bonus to watching kids particiapate in events that they carry an interest in.
You need both based on what the circumstance dictates. No one is saying running an offense is bad, but there are situations where you need to pivot when it's not producing scoring opportunities. Having more kids that can create offense is good basketball, not selfish play.
Ok last call, you brought it up,” you want to be entertained go watch nba or college “
So a shot clock is going to make that pivot happen? Or maybe a coach saying "gee, this isn't working maybe we should try this instead"?
You see, this is where I have the disconnect with the shot clock argument. If you don't feel like you can run with a team does not necessarily mean that you don't feel that you can compete with that team. I'm a STVM fan and the Irish play an up-tempo, pressure defense type of game. Some teams try to run with them, a lot of teams try to slow them down. I'm no fan of a team standing and holding the ball for 2 minutes. But, honestly, in the games I've watched STVM play, where you might expect teams to do just that, I just don't see that happening very often. I do see some teams hold it longer when the Irish go on a run. But, to me, that's the coach using the ploy basically as a "free" time out to try to break the run. Yes, it can be frustrating, but when it does happen, the Irish extend the defense and try to trap the ball to combat the slow-down offense.
Naw, we laugh at people like you who yell "three seconds" when the ball is being tipped back in after a missed shot.
Takes all the stress away
