They run the game clock, they keep stats, they run businesses, they raise children,,,honestly, why couldn't you train and trust them to run a shot clock? Shot clock operator doesn't think ball hits the rim, refs think it does but none of them see shot clock get reset so now comes the delay in deciding how much time to put on shot clock. Now do the refs put more time on the game clock since there was violation? What if player picks up foul in those few seconds that there should've been violation? Does foul not count? This is just like adding more government regulation. The more you add the more issues that will arise. You are just adding more things for the officials to watch when they should be reffing the game.

I go to enough high school games and see enough issues with clock operators that I don't see how the local grocery store owner running the clock would handle it. And it will be just another person for fans to criticize. Unless you are going to hire an extra ref just to run the shot clock not sure it will be operated properly. If you are looking to improve the offensive movement in high school basketball the constant hand-checking, grabbing and holding needs to be called on a more consistent basis. But I don't see that happening.

Couldn't agree more about the CBS coverage. They have all those college analysts but prefer to bring in NBA guys who don't know some of the teams let alone the players and coaches. Watching Charles Barkley try to do the touch screen was like me trying ask a girl out in high school...just plain old awkward, uncomfortable and downright embarrassing. No reason it should take 2 hours to release the entire bracket. Glad to hear someone got a hold of the bracket and release before CBS could.

Definitely renewing. My kids and friends that go to games with me would have me committed if I didn't.

I missed the game. Did the announcers make any type of comments about this?

We couldn't rebound when we played man. They would have gotten twice as many offensive boards if we were in a zone. Wouldn't hurt to try it.

And let's not forget when Miles tried to call a time out after a husker made basket. Steratore was right beside him and Miles was asking for the time out. Steratore ignored him and Valentine finally saw Miles and granted the time out. And then Steratore acted like Miles kicked his puppy and confronted Miles. Not sure how many of you listen to Steve Czaben on Yahoo Sports Radio but he dislikes Steratore and gives the impression that Steratore is "on the take" and decides the outcome of NFL games.

Gonna try some St. Louis style ribs. Would like to grill them but weather has forced them to oven for baking.

Nu does little to no screening when being pressed and also needs to put someone deep to take a possible defender/trapper away. Like someone mentioned earlier there should've been some deeper passes as aggressive as MSU was being. And if NU is gonna try the out of bounds to out of bounds pass they need to spread out rather than making a short pass that allows same defender to guard it.

I would like to hear more of these stories. Once the douche word was dropped on a couple players I knew it had to be good. Maybe start an entire thread to these type of stories.

Last year, when this came up, I found a website that sells shot clocks. Pretty reasonable. And easy enough to use a cheerleader could do it.Adding a shot clock to high school basketball may and does sound like a good idea but will only add more for officials to keep track. You can see timing issues at almost any game so you would need a qualified operator and not to mention that person knowing/seeing the ball hit the rim and when to reset. Heck, the refs in college games now even have to stop play for resetting or adjusting it and they have video to aid them. That video help probably won't be available at most high school games. I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy. I'd rather have an errant shot clock... than leaving balls under key and lock. It would all be fine until there is a controversy. And from watching high school basketball I see no teams stalling, just lots of grabbing and holding and impeding of offensive players. Reffing at the high school level is similar to that in college in that they call very little. I've watched at least 30 high school games this year and can recall only maybe 1 or 2 players fouling out.

He's now a Hoya. No use worrying about him. Really wonder if he wanted to ever be at NU.

Iowa made 3 out 4 3 pointers after NU took 51-50 lead. They finished game 5 for 20.

10-13
