After years of trying to get a shot clock for the UIL basketball season, the rule change is finally coming as it was passed and voted on during the Legislative Council Meeting on Monday.
But we’ll still have to wait.
According to Texas Girls Hoops Insider Nick Alvarado, the shot clock won’t come until the 2028-29 season and will only be available for the top two classifications.
The rule is still subject to change, but the UIL will have a clock for Class 6A and 5A no earlier than August 2028.
Class 4A and 3A shot clocks won’t come earlier than 2030.
Class 2A and 1A shot clocks won’t be earlier than 2032.
According to USA Today, there are 35 states that have adopted or approved the use for a shot clock.
