A push by the coaching community has succeeded in bringing the shot clock to Georgia high school basketball.

The Georgia High School Association’s Executive Committee approved the use of a 30-second shot clock during a Tuesday afternoon meeting in Thomaston. High school coaches backed a shot clock addition and their pitch picked up momentum on social media in recent months. College head coaches Tom Crean of Georgia and Rob Lanier were among the speakers Tuesday who supported the measure.
