Auburn had beaten Opelika by 36 points earlier this season. The Opelika Coach had the team hold the ball the entire game.

If you're idea of a "game" is holding the ball then i don't know what to say. Nice fish hook..

I don't know why they can't implement some kind of soft discretionary shot clock in high school.

If teams are playing normal basketball, then there is no shot clock.

But if a team is obviously stalling, the refree could trigger a 15 second shot clock or something, at his discretion, so that teams can't sit there and hold the ball for ridiculous amounts of time.

That way you don't need someone to run a shot clock the whole game. You only need it if a team is trying to be cute.

that solution is worse than the problem... you trust $75 a game refs to implement that fairly?

I watched a game against Peabody High School that was 2-0 at halftime because of this. Family member on the other team. 2A school that lost big earlier to them. Peabody ended up with winning by 40 or so anyway.

Watched a 3A team in Mississippi win a state championship doing this probably 10 or 11 years ago. Final score was in the low 20s

My high school actually did this when I was there. We played another local school who was like top 10 in the country at the time so our coach had our team just hold the ball the entire game being as there is no shot clock. Lost like 12-0 or something lol. For those who are from the Baton Rouge area, those early 2000s Woodlawn hoops teams were fricking unreal. I loved basketball back then and buddies from school and my subdivision would play all the time. We went to quite a few Woodlawn games as it was another school close to my neighborhood and had a few friends that went there.

never had this happen in high school but in AAU ball I played on an all white team with guys who basically grew up playing together in this incredibly complex flex offensive system. anyway, other coaches knew about it so they always wanted to play some kind of trapping zone, but our coach was having none of it. if they wouldn't extend it to at least half court we'd pull the ball out and run 4 corners until they played man. had many 2-0, 4-2 etc etc halftime scores.

after which most teams would come back out in man and the game would balloon out to a 25-30 point game

Yes they were. They had some epic playoff wins, many of them on the road. 1 vs 2 matchups happened with them several times in the quarterfinals, this was before the seeding system.

In a basketball game at Lyons Center in NOLA, we only scored 3 points one time. Unfortunately the other team scored 94. 100% serious. Lost another one 84-7. Closest game was 50-13. We tried to hold onto the ball, but just could not.

Been saying it for years, HS needs a 45 or 55 sec shot clock
