I heard the announcers say the coaches or whoever is meeting in June to discuss this. It really has to go. It turns a great game into a nap.
According to a poll I recently read a vast majority of coaches are against the shot clock. Who knows.
Probably true ... many coaches are afraid of the unknown and fear they won't be able to coach well in the new era where you can't just play slow down/keep away. The better coaches, I'm sure, are overwhelmingly in favor. Unfortunately, as in many things, the least common denominator often rules the day.
It is time to move the women's game forward. End the stall by any means necessary.
Maybe they can at least make them not go behind the restraining line? Passing all the way back the goalie is just ridiculous.
Why do we need baby steps? Either a stall box like boys with no over and back and a time limit to get over restraining line etc. or a shot clock. I like shot clock.
The only thing I can think of why the shot clock is not a great idea is that it may force girls to take unsafe shots just to beat the clock. The boys don't have that issue. Either way, something needs to change.
