		The shot clock was first introduced by the NBA in 1954, to increase the speed of play.

		If a shot is not attempted before the shot clock expires, it is considered a shot clock violation and the ball is turned over to the defensive team.
		To avoid a shot clock violation, a shot must be out of an offensive player's hand before the buzzer sounds, and it must at least hit the rim to be considered an attempt.
		The shot clock was not implemented in men's college basketball until 1986, beginning at 40 seconds and changing to 35 in 1993.

		However, the drawbacks of a shot clock would be increased expenses toward smaller schools and it could encourage laid back zone defenses instead of good solid man-to-man fundamental defense appreciated by college recruiters and fans.

	STORM: 24: Analyzing the Shorter Shot Clock
		The story of the WNBA preseason thus far has been the league's move from a 30-second shot clock to the 24-second incarnation used by FIBA and the NBA.
		In the long term, Donovan's concern is that the shorter clock will mean the motion-based offenses favored in the women's game will be traded for the isolation plays that have been a staple in the NBA.
		However, the head coach of the U.S. Women's Senior National Team should know that is not the mentality in international play, and eight of the 12 players on the Storm's current roster have some international experience, either for the U.S. or for their native country.

	Killing the clock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In basketball, a shot clock is implemented so that a field goal has to be attempted within a time frame (24 seconds in the NBA).
		Killing the clock is still possible by using up all the allowed time before attempting any shot, therefore reducing the number of possessions left (and chances for the opponent to score) in the game.
		In soccer, a referee can call a violation if the team is obviously killing the clock; in matches where a single game ball is used, a common tactic is to kick the ball into the stands, as the clock does not stop while the ball is being retrieved.

	HS Shot clock - Yappi Sports
		The shot clock argument is usually made by supporters of schools with high-powered offenses that wish to beat teams by 50 rather than 25.
		The only time I ever really notice the clock is if a team has to hoist some sort of deaperation shot to beat the expiration, but this rarely happens, probaby because the players and coaches are now so used to the clock.
		In summary, I am against the clock, and if I had a vite for Ohio, I'd be stronly opposed, but if it is inevitable be prepared for a season or two of sloppy basketball followed by the game returning to "normal" thereafter.

		If you think about it the shot clock might mean better coaching because you have to know how to actually beat a team instead of getting a lead and holding the ball the entire game.
		As for the three point shot yes it is bad when teams like dook exploit it by hurling up obsurd numbers a game but for other teams it is a way to get back into a game instead of just trading baskets and thus you are able to have more comebacks and great games.

		The rules committee, chaired by Seton Hall Athletic Director Larry Keating, is expected to discuss expansion of the 3-point line from its current distance of 19 feet, 9 inches and widening the free-throw lane and/or restoring the five-second count against closely guarded ballhandlers.
		The committee sent a survey to coaches, officials and media members a while ago, and the question about the shot clock asked whether the committee should: A) leave it at 35 seconds; B) cut it to 30 seconds; C) cut it to 24 seconds.
		So did I. The explanation of why the rules committee switched to the 35-second clock following the 1992-93 season was to help smooth the final two minutes of games, when teams trying to erase large deficits were compelled to foul in order to regain possession of the ball.

		Then coach at Marquette, O'Neill had built himself a thundering team he figured to be ideally suited for the game at a 45-rpm pace, but not athletic or prolific enough to survive the run-and-gun atmosphere that seemed certain to result from the quicker shot clock.
		To reverse the trend, the rules committee should consider returning the shot clock to 45 seconds and moving back the 3-point line.
