Basketball Shot Clock one step closer to coming to Class A

[ClkTwr2011]

I was thinking about shot clocks this morning and something occurred to me. This is a rule change to help defenses. That's rare. In football, it is practically extinct. It surprises me that people are so in favor of it. It incentivizes conservative defense. Play it safe, don't create a shot for them, and be ready to defend whatever special they try to execute on timing that you can predict. I wish we could get some similar fan momentum for defensive-advantage football rule changes.

Interesting observation!
