The University Interscholastic League is permitting schools to optionally use a 35-second shot clock during varsity basketball games in the upcoming season. The change applies only if both competing teams agree to implement it, and it is part of a pilot program designed to enhance gameplay and support skill development.
This experimental approach will allow the UIL to gather data and feedback from participants. The league plans to survey its members about the potential for broader adoption of the shot clock in the future.
