2023 Rule change

[Hon Dines]

The NFHS has voted to eliminate the 1-and-1 free throw from high school basketball beginning next year. Instead, teams will be rewarded two free throws after the other team's fifth foul in each quarter.

Was the rule passed just to speed the games up?

The rule changes aligns with 2015 NCAA rule change. If they want to speed up the game institute the shot clock!

Just out of curiosity, how does a shot clock speed up the game?

So just as with football has the "40 sec play clock" to prevent a team from stalling out the game the same is for basketball. I have seen teams run a solid 2+min off the clock at a HS game. The 35sec shot clock will prepare kids next level play. The AAU circuits have adopted the shot clock already come on NC...

So it really doesn't speed up the game. It just creates more shots. It also would reduce the discipline necessary to run a sustained offense or play defense for more than 3 or 4 passes. As for preparing players for the next level, it takes a college level coach about 2 practices to do the same.

Wait what?? Reduce discipline? If anything it would force HS coaches (the good ones) to teach players time situational awareness which will help the kids that can play collegiately because well there is a shot clock in the NCAA... Or you can have more of this because that helps kids prepare for next level play..

Yes, it reduces discipline. It requires much more mental discipline to execute an offense for 5 passes or more and more discipline and communication to defend an offense like that. If your a basketball guy you have surely hear coaches discuss the problem of defending a Princeton style offense.

You greatly undervalue today's athletes if you think they need to prepare kids for a shot clock. Only the highly skilled advance to the next level and they can easily adapt to the change.

I think a big part of it is to improve the flow of the game by reducing the number of ft attempts, especially in the 1st half. Often at the start of the game players are nervous and at the same time officials try to set the "tone" of the game. This combination often results in teams entering the bonus in the 1st quarter and the game is hindered by numerous ft attempts. I think it also allows a team to defend more aggressively as the foul count is reset at the end of the quarter.
