Figured I'd take this debate over here since Iowa Preps is deader than the New England Patriots' dynasty.
One big debate that is not dead, right now, is the topic of bringing the shot clock to Iowa High School basketball.
From what I've seen and read, more people in the public are for it, than against, however, logistical issues, first and foremost, (among other concerns) have kept State officials from really pushing for this to become a reality any time soon.
I, personally, do not think a shot clock is needed for the high school varsity level in Iowa, and do not foresee it coming within the next 5 years even.
I won't rule out the possibility that it may become a reality in the future, but it definitely won't be the near-future.
And yes, such a change would need to be incorporated for both boys AND girls basketball, and as a coach I can tell you that girls basketball does NOT need a shot clock and would NOT benefit from it either. And you all can deal with that, if you disagree.
With that said, what are your off topic (not HROT) thoughts on this subject?
