The Missouri State High School Activities Association (MSHSAA) Board of Directors approved an allowance for a 35-second shot clock at their board meeting on June 13.
The shot clock can only be used in boys and girls basketball regular season varsity tournaments and shootout-style events involving MSHSAA member schools, with prior approval.
“In past years, some schools and coaches have requested the use of a shot clock,” MSHSAA Assistant Executive Director Doug Fessler said. “We are now providing that opportunity, contingent upon compliance with our defined approval process. This also enables tournaments and shootout-style events involving out-of-state schools, where shot clocks are standard, to utilize them during games.”
The recommendation came from the MSHSAA Basketball Advisory Committee, which is made up of representatives from member schools.
The minimum requirements and approval process are in the Shot Clock Allowance Process document located on MSHSAA’s website. The Shot Clock Guidelines for Use document also provides specific information when using the shot clock.
Shot clocks will not be utilized in MSHSAA basketball postseason games, including the 2025 Show-Me Showdown.
