Another attempt at bringing a shot clock to high school basketball in Indiana failed again this week, according to a press release Monday by the IHSAA.
The Association noted that just 24% of administrators were in favor of adding the shot clock to the state’s traditional powerhouse sport.
In a series of meetings in April, only 79 administrators expressed support for adding the shot clock and paying an additional person for every home game. 245 admins were opposed.
The proposal by the IBCA was for a 35-second shot clock to be used in varsity play for both boys and girls.
The IHSAA board voted 1-17 in favor of the proposal.
According to the coaches association, only 68% of coaches supported the measure across the state.
