Basketball will have a new feature to add in the coming seasons.

The National Federation of High Schools (NFHS) did not approve the adoption of the shot clock for a national rule. However, each state has the option to adopt the 35-second clock.

“We provided the committee with a lot of information regarding the shot clock, including responses to a 46-question survey sent to states currently using a shot clock,” said Theresia Wynns, NFHS director of sports and officials and liaison to the Basketball Rules Committee.

The UIL follows NFHS rules in every sport sanctioned and it is unclear on whether the shot clock will make an appearance in the Lone Star State
