A shot clock will be coming to a high school basketball gym near you. The IHSAA and IGHSAU have voted to introduce a 35-second shot clock for varsity basketball starting in the 2022-23 season.

The implementation will be required of all participating member schools starting that season with use of the clock in sub-varsity competition allowed by not required. There will not be any experimental implementations for the 2021-22 regular season.

The 35-second timing is what has been approved as a nationwide standard by the National Federation of High Schools.

Further shot clock information and rule implementation will be provided by the IHSAA and IGHSAU as it becomes available ahead of the 2022-23 season.
