Speak these words in copreps basketball circles. Then prepare for a debate. Shot clock. Some of the state's most prominent coaches discuss the potential in Colorado with KyleFredrickson, including the new CHSAA commissioner:
“It’s the equalizer and it’s good for the game,” said Joe Ortiz, head coach of defending Class 5A boys champion ThunderRidge.“I’m really excited about the opportunity,” said Jessika Caldwell, head coach of defending 5A girls champion Valor Christian.
“Absolutely. You play within the rules,” Dertinger said. “There is definitely an advantage if you have a five- or six-point lead with a minute left — you’re going to try and run a lengthy possession and force them to foul you. If a coach tells you they haven’t used it, I think they’d probably be lying.”
Valor Christian junior guard Macey Huard transferred into the program last season after playing her freshman year in Washington with timed possessions. Huard said: “I think it will be nice to have it back.” However, some larger Colorado schools with strong athletic resources still have reservations about making the change.
That’s just one example of why CHSAA might face pushback from smaller schools in the shot clock debate. Limited athletic budgets and staff would initially create logistical challenges. Lucero, the Sierra Grande 1A boys coach, said his team’s playing style would have no issues adapting to a shot clock. That’s not his concern.
In New York, a high school shot clock for boys basketball dates back to the late 1980s while girls have played with timed possessions for 20-plus years. But New York has a more tradition-rich basketball culture with 1,378 total high school basketball teams in the state, according to NYPHSAA director of communications Chris Watson.
