Shot Clocks, (Most) FIBA Rules Coming to Ontario HS Hoops

It won't be until the 2016-17, but OFSAA officials confirmed yesterday that FIBA rules and shot clocks will be coming to Ontario High School basketball --- with a couple of tweaks.

(You can see the full news release from OFSAA here).

Most notably, a 35-second shot clock will be implemented; there will be full resets of the shot clock on fouls and shots off the rim.

A couple of "federation" (current) rules will be retained --- federation lines will be used even when FIBA lines are available; also, the current timeout procedure will be retained.

We'll have more on this development later.
