Someone please explain to me how the flow of this game was to be 19-19 at end of regulation?
Final 28-21 in OT?
Because Oak Hills is more than willing to run offense for 2 minutes at a time before they shoot. I think the first possession of the game, Oak Hills had the ball for about 2 minutes.

64 shots(including OT) and 23 FT's(11 trips to the foul line) and 11 turnovers would ,mean abut 86 possessions?
Thats about 2.3 possesions per minute.
about 25-28 seconds per possession(Including the 4 minutes of OT)? That's UNDER what a shot clock would be
not too bad
maybe mostly bad shooting and good defense
Have to agree with you.this brand of hoops is boring. id rather watch grass grow.

But they both shot horribly. A shot clock would have just lead to even worse shooting.Sometimes you get multiple shots on same possession with offensive rebounds. It was definitely a slow paced game. You are also assuming when you turn it over or shoot it takes a full 30 seconds. A shot clock would've definitely come into play on many possessions in this game.

Yea but my point is if a team is having a horrible shooting night, forcing them to shoot faster is just going to make their shooting even worse. You want better basketball, but I think a shot clock would be forcing worse basketball. At least in the case of this particular game I'd argue it would make it worse.I don't think the point of a shot clock is to increase scoring... it may or it may not. The point of the shot clock is so that the offense has to shoot the ball every 30 (or 35 or 45) seconds. Maybe they shoot it and get it back and run the shot clock some more... so be it. But the shot clock ensures the offense doesn't go 2 minutes without shooting the ball.

Well I want the best possible basketball to be played. I don't understand the need to force kids to play worse basketball just to appease fans. This isn't the NBA or any professional sport. These kids aren't playing to entertain the people in the stands in hopes to gain fans and thus make more money. The game is literally being played just for them.I didn't say I want better basketball. I want the offensive team to not be able to hold the ball for 1-2 minutes at a time. A shot clock would accomplish that. More scoring, better basketball... I am not sure if a shot clock would accomplish those. But, I would like to try it and see.
Passing 30 times in a possession without turning the ball over is actually extremely impressive. These coaches should get an award for teaching the players how to pass so well. Unfortunately, it looks like they forgot to teach them how to shoot.I went back and just watched the first 2 possessions, one for each team.
64 passes combined
2 fouls
2 Offensive Rebounds
3:16 off clock
0 points

I don't want to see that either. But I do have to agree with the last poster, whether his comment was tongue in cheek or not. That is kinda impressive to be able to pass that much without turning the ball over.I would be willing to bet 95% of high school kids would say they'd rather play with a shot clock than allow the offensive team to hold the ball.

Yeah and 100% of kids would like to shoot whenever they like and from wherever they like without their coach getting upset. And then encouraging them to keep shooting no matter how many they miss.I would be willing to bet 95% of high school kids would say they'd rather play with a shot clock than allow the offensive team to hold the ball.
Mass has a shot clock too but really never comes into play until the very end of a game. But the losing team is already fouling then anyway.NYC has a 35 second shot clock. I've watched a number of schools play here and there's a lot of variation between styles of play even with the shot clock. Some teams are straight up run-and-gun and their scores are regularly in the 70s and 80s. Other schools play a slower more methodical style and I've seen teams that regularly win games with scores in the 40s.

Also, I'd say 95% of high school kids could care less if there was a shot clock or not. And it wouldn't surprise me if that was actually 100% lol
When OH has a strong point guard and the other key ingredients the out is usually a lot different. Players like back door layups, wide open layups and open jump shots. The coach has a system and he sticks to it. Good for him.I know these games don't happen often, but a team should not be allowed to run an offense( play keep away) for 2 mins. at a time. I'm definitely in favor of a shot clock in Ohio
Good luck in finding qualified people to run the shot clock. Lots of schools struggle to find one qualified scoreboard operator and official scorer let alone someone who can run a shot clock correctly.
