I'm not denying that it isn't effective, I just said that it makes the game nearly unwatchable.  Yes for a long time teams slowed it way down and Dean Smith with all his "smarts" forced the creation of the shot clock in college b-ball with his 4 corner offense.  And now, with teams like Princeton and UVa (to name a few) being successful pointing the way for every under manned team to do the same, the same thing is going to happen.  The shot clock is going to get shortened.  And by the way, UVa is under manned!  McDonough and Greenberg were both sinning the praises of how athletic  UVa is.  There offensive sets would work just as well with a 30 second clock and even a 25 second clock. Patience for to get a good shot does not mean waiting 20 seconds before looking for a shot.  Now stifling defenses are fun to watch for a teams fanes.  SU's zone forcing a time clock violation gets cheers.  So does UVa's.  Thing is, with shorter clocks, more violations or desperate attempts will be seen
