Basketball: Shot clock added for 2022-23
The IHSAA and IGHSAU will use the NFHS allowance for state adoption to introduce a 35-second shot clock for varsity basketball, required of participating member schools starting in the 2022-23 season. Use of the shot clock in sub-varsity competition will be allowed but not required. With a date set for statewide implementation, experimental exceptions will not be granted during the 2021-22 regular season.

To encourage standardization among states, 35 seconds was the timing provided by NFHS approval. Further shot clock information and rule implementation will be provided by IHSAA and IGHSAU as it becomes available ahead of the 2022-23 season.

Im not paying for Waukee, Johnston, Ankeny, etc. and what non 4A schools have more than one HS gym? Actually what 4A school has more than one gym? And you think it costs a short stack to get one of those things installed in Jefferson, IA? Doubtful. Think you need to rethink your calculations.

Lewis Central has a second gym for Freshman games. But the cost question is silly, LCs building a $20 million auditorium right now, I think schools can spare a few bucks for some clocks.
