It's inevitable. Only question now is how long is the shot clock - 90 seconds? 120? And when does it start - once you clear and get in the box or gain possession?
I'd think once you get in the box right?
I would imagine they would continue to use the rule that ends the shot clock they have now - a reset occurs if you hit the goalie, the pipe, or the other team gets possession and you take it back. What I could see is 90 seconds if you get it in your own end and 60 if you get a reset under the rule. There's talk of changing the basketball shot clock to 20 seconds after an offensive rebound, based on the idea the extra 10 seconds is used to cross the half-court line.I would assume so, would make it easy to track and not have to do it by possession which if theres a scrum could change 3-4 times in 10 seconds. Once your in the box the clock would start. Not sure if there would be some mechanism that re-sets or gives you extra time. Say you shoot with 5 seconds goalie makes a great save and you get the ball back. Does the clock keep running to zero, does it re-set to say 30 seconds?
Understand each team's offensive scheme and pace is different but doubt this change impacts current play much beyond removing subjectivity on stall call. If anything, might change defensive approaches.
Cuse O stagnated at times but think O usually flowed enough that we got the shot we wanted well within ninety seconds. Really don't see it affecting us, we don't play fast or slow, say uptempo best describes. Sometimes Refhuss held ball behind cage for awhile when not challenged waiting for cutters to open so that play may have to be initiated earlier (can't recall if that was done mostly on man up or not)
Would think 90 secs starts with entry into box and the bigger question is how much time is reset
I’m hearing Danowski is anti shot clock and wrote an email to all the coaches stating why he is against it. He talked about how he coached in three different scenarios over the last 6 months and doesn’t see a need for the shot clock. Wouldn’t be surprised to see him rallying the troops to delay the shot clock era.
I’d like to see them shorten the sub box back to 10 yards and see what happens to pace of play then.
That is who likes it ...coaches who want to control every possession and situation. This is not how the game should be played. It is meant to be free flowing. Not all this passing around substituting garbage. Let the kids play free without this junk. Every game I want to yell timer on. I hate putting it in officials hands to decide who is stalling.
I also think the shot clock will limit the power of the Face-Off. They win the draw and just keep it forever.
No reward for good defense they just keep the ball or do a courtesy shot over the net to make it look like they are going to the net. I bet ncaa and nba basketball coaches would like no shot clocks so they could run stupid plays over and over.
I think if they add the shot clock, they need to bring back the old "keep it rule" for the last few minutes of the game to allow the team behind a better chance of getting the ball away.
They won't need it because the shot clock will already be in effect. The most a team can kill will be 60 to 90 seconds depending on what is decided.
So it is a 60 second shot clock except for the end of the game when it is 30? That doesn't seem fair. In the old game you could run around for 2minutes and kill time at least this is 60 to 90 seconds.Uh, 60 or 90 seconds would be a lot of time to be allowed to run around the whole offensive half field at the end of a 1 goal game.
I've actually already noticed the problem this season with the timer. A lot of close games end up just fizzling out at the end, instead of being exciting.
A couple of the coaches in the video I linked said they're going to have to "let go of the controls" more under a shot clock than they do now.That is who likes it ...coaches who want to control every possession and situation.

No, in the old game, they had the keep-it-in rule.
The referees would give the signal and after that the offensive team had to keep it in the box.
Keeping it in the box restricts the area the offensive team has to run around in, giving the defense a better chance to get the ball.
