Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted June 15, 2021 Report Posted June 15, 2021 The UIL will vote on a proposed change on Tuesday that would add a shot clock to Class 5A and 6A basketball. @GuyerBasketball head coach Grant Long said adopting a shot clock “[is] in the best interest of the players, coaches and game.” #txhshoops This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up lil brother and bullets13 1 1 Quote
catfever Posted June 15, 2021 Report Posted June 15, 2021 In other words, he can't beat Argyle without it. I wonder how this will work when lower classifications play 5A and 6A in nondistrict. Quote

Any other games would not have a shot clock. Be tough to have tournaments with a mixture of 6A-1A. Quote
BayouB Posted June 15, 2021 Report Posted June 15, 2021 45 seconds is an eternity. Won’t affect majority of the game. But will stop the Stall Ball tactic that some teams deploy. makes them play basketball, which should be the point. Quote

Stall ball is terrible to watch, but I guess it’ll continue for now. Yeoj, lil brother, BayouB and 1 other 3 1 Quote

whsalum Posted June 17, 2021 Report Posted June 17, 2021 It’s a strategy often deployed by teams that don’t have equal athletes. Been part of the game forever. I personally am not a fan of stalling the basketball but it’s up to the defensive team to adjust. High school basketball doesn’t need a shot clock no-look 1 Quote
no-look Posted June 17, 2021 Report Posted June 17, 2021 Not a fan of HS shot clock especially in lower classifications. I could understand it somewhat in 5A and 6A. Quote

High school basketball doesn’t need a shot clock I have seen plenty of athletic teams use this to their advantage over the years. Andre Boutte was the master of it. He would stall in the 3rd quarter if he had a 5 point lead. whsalum 1 Quote

It’s a strategy and good coaches will use it to beat you if they get ahead. You give a good free throw shooting team a 5 point lead and the ball they’ll beat you with a good coach. Quote

no-look Posted June 18, 2021 Report Posted June 18, 2021 The 5-3 Huntington/Woodville game was the strangest game I’ve ever seen. A big mixed bag of reactions during and after the game. A shot clock would have changed that one for sure. Lol Quote

Had some tough breaks along the way. He had a Grapeland team in Austin one year. Playing Wellington and was up three with less than ten seconds left. Grapeland player steals the ball and does a 360 dunk attempt . Ball hits back of the rim and a Wellington player scoops it up and slings a half court shot and banks it in at the buzzer. Grapeland lost in OT Quote

rupert3 Posted June 27, 2021 Report Posted June 27, 2021 In the late 50s there was a game that was played in the Sam Houston Coliseum that was 2-0 and if memory serves me right it was Lamar and San Jacinto Hi schools. Just can't remember who won but I believe it was Lamar with 2 FTs at end. I am sure I will get corrected if wrong. Quote
