Summary
A high school basketball championship game in Wisconsin between Milwaukee Juneau and Cambridge has sparked debate about the need for a universal shot clock. Milwaukee Juneau won the game by stalling and holding the ball for over 90 seconds, preventing their opponent from mounting a comeback. Wisconsin is one of 18 states that does not require a shot clock in high school basketball games. Opponents of the shot clock argue that it would lead to more bad shots and increased costs for schools.
