ALBUQUERQUE— Everyone knew it was going to happen, we just didn t know when. It was supposed to happen in the spring of 2020, but the pandemic squelched that. There was…
• Coaches in the smallest class (1A) prefer the status quo.
• And the boys coaches are far more amenable to adding shot clocks than girls coaches.
There were 18 boys coaches and 19 girls coaches in 5A who responded to the poll. There are 28 schools in 5A. The boys coaches were in favor of a shot clock by a 15-3 margin, the girls coaches by 15-4.
But at the opposite end of the spectrum, the 1A coaches, largely in rural communities, went nearly 180 degrees in the other direction.
The 1A boys coaches who responded voted 10-2 against, the girls coaches 11-4 against.
A total of 164 boys and girls coaches took part in the straw poll, or about 53 percent of all basketball coaches in New Mexico. There are just over 310 combined boys and girls programs, and the two largest classes (by number of schools) are 1A (42) and 2A (30).
