“can’t believe that somebody is actually on here defending the stall??? I spent many years going to the NCAA post season, watching great lacrosse games, and the stall was used very lightly at the end of games, sometimes. Then Northwestern came along.... by the end of their dynasty, the last couple of years that they won the championship, the games were unwatchable. Not sure if Amonte pioneered the stall but she certainly was on full display utilizing it to win the championships. Can’t blame her, do not think they would have won all those years without playing stall. Against the top teams they would slow stall on the start of every possession to burn clock the entire game. Then it became a heavy part of many teams game plan. Thank god for the 90 second shot clock, really needs to be brought into HS game. “

First off Einstein , no one is defending the stall ( whatever that means ), it’s part of the game , it’s legal , so there is nothing to defend . If you actually think the shot clock would not negatively impact over 80 percent of high school games you are clueless . The average high school game has many players that are not skilled and between the clear and setting up an offense you will have constant shot clock violations with forced dangerous shots , blowout wins and a worse mess than those games already are . You want to get the game moving , have a draw to start each half .
