Despite a lot of clamor for installation of a shot clock in boys basketball, the HHSAA says it is in no position to make that move.

"The coaches may say they want it, but their athletic directors haven’t said anything to the league. It’s not something we (HHSAA) can change on our own. It’s a rule change," HHSAA executive director Chris Chun said.

For the process to begin, a proposal at the annual athletic directors conference in June (HIADA) would have to be passed, then approved by the HHSAA executive board.

‘Iolani defeated Farrington 43-40 on Saturday to win the Division I state crown.

The Raiders used a delay tactic to milk the clock in the final 2 minutes of each quarter, and used it in the fourth quarters to seal victories.

Farrington didn’t adjust its defense to apply heavy pressure until the final 3 minutes of the game. Opponents of a shot clock have asked why any blame is being placed on ‘Iolani.

"The only way we would have a shot clock is it would have to go through HIADA. The leagues would have to bring it up. No league has brought it up in the four years I’ve been in this," Chun said.

Of the Western states, only the California Interscholastic Federation uses a shot clock.

As for overall attendance in this year’s boys state tourney, Chun was fairly satisfied.

"I think it was a little bit more than last year. I know the championship game had more," he said.
