The National Federation of State High School Associations on Tuesday of this week announced that states can implement a 35-second shot clock in basketball starting in the 2022-23 season – if they so desire.
So what will New Mexico do?
The process of answering that question hasn’t really begun yet.
New Mexico Activities Association executive director Sally Marquez said the first thing her office must do is take the temperature of the approximately 155 basketball-playing schools around the state, and get feedback – from coaches, athletic directors and administrators – on what they’d like.

Already, eight states utilize a shot clock. But, as a result, those state associations gave up their seats on the NFHS basketball rules committee. Those states are California, South Dakota, Rhode Island, Maryland, New York, Washington, Massachusetts and North Dakota. Georgia has voted to add a shot clock starting next year.
