Indianapolis The position of the basketball rules committee at the National Federation of State High School Associations when it comes to shot clock in high school basketball has evolved over the years.
This week, the NFHS, which governs high school sports rules nationally, approved a recommendation to allow individual state associations to adopt a 35-second shot clock in high school basketball beginning in the 2022-2023 school year.
In past years, the NFHS has considered this proposal. It has also received proposals for mandatory implementation, which it has rejected each time, but the votes on the basketball rules committee changed this year, according to NFHS Executive Director Dr. Karissa Niehoff.

The Basketball Coaches Association of New York announced today Brentwoodâs lead guard,
Jordan Riley 21, has won the prestigious Mr. New York Basketball award. Riley is a 4 star, 6â4, combo guard who is ranked 129th in the class of 2021, according to Rivals and a top 3 prospect in the State. He becomes the 2nd Long Island, public school player to win the award this past decade with Hills East Savion Lewis winning it in 2018.
Riley is an elite athlete, an incredible shot maker and a winner. The future Georgetown Hoya is known for his highlight reel dunks and blocks but has really developed an impressive overall game. Heâs been the focus of the opponentâs defenses for years, enduring double and even triple coverage at times this year. This season he averaged over 31 points a game leading all Long Island the Indians to Suffolk Championship game.
Mohegan Jennifer Rizzotti felt like she needed a break after George Washington fired her as head coach of the women s basketball team back on March 15.
Rizzotti had been a college head coach for the past 22 seasons, the first 17 at the University of Hartford. The former UConn great led legislative meetings for the Women s Basketball Coaches Association and has been part of USA Basketball, too.
Rizzotti began having second thoughts about taking a breather when the Mohegan Sun came calling for her to be the president of the Connecticut Sun. I really didn t know what I wanted to do next, Rizzotti said at her introductory press conference on Tuesday at Mohegan Sun Arena. This opportunity came up pretty quickly, or at least the idea of it, and it became more of a reality as the weeks went on.
