ACC to experiment with a 30-second shot clock
Might we finally be seeing change coming to college basketball’s 35-second shot clock?
Among the items that were discussed at the ACC’s spring meetings this week was a reduction of the shot clock to 30 seconds, and it has been decided that the conference will use a 30-second shot clock experimentally during exhibition games this season.
“Our coaches and ADs both felt it would be an enhancement to the game in today’s world,” ACC commissioner John Swofford said, according to a report from ESPN. “It adds more possessions and potentially would speed up the game.”
Reducing the shot clock has been a topic that’s been up for debate for a couple of years now, as college hoops has the longest shot clock at any level of the game where one exists. The NBA has a 24-second clock. Women’s basketball has a 30-second clock in college and a 24-second clock in the NBA. FIBA uses a 24-second clock. At the high school level, shot clocks are not required by all states, but the Nike EYBL uses a 30-second shot clock.
