Rant: Shot Clock Needed!

<rant>I just returned from a high school boys basketball game, and I'll say what I've said a hundred times before: the KSHSAA needs to put a shot clock into high school basketball, especially boys! The boys' teams never have trouble getting a shot off ever 35 seconds, so why not go ahead and put the shot clock in?!
The catalyst for this rant is that I just watched our team (again) get punished for playing good defense. We lost a game partially because our opponents were able to run 6 or 7 minutes total off of the clock simply by passing the ball around and not trying to score. There was nothing we could do. We couldn't foul, because that would only put them at the free throw line, and we couldn't steal the ball easily because they took very safe passes and made no real effort to do anything with the basketball. In other words, we played good defense, and our "reward" was losing time we needed to make the basket (or two) that we needed to win the game.
Now, in case you say, "But the last couple of minutes in a game are when the team ahead is supposed to slow down its offense," I'm not talking about the last two minutes of the game. Our opponents started "taking the air out of the ball" in the second quarter when they were ahead by no more than 6 points! That is not good basketball; it's ugly basketball that has no business being played at any level of the game. It's strategies like that which forced the pro and college games to adopt shot clocks, and it's time for high school to do the same!
KSHSAA adminstrators, take note of that when you're making all of your other rule changes you make every year, and put in a shot clock!!</rant>
