Of course, for Mack's team, the shot clock probably would have been irrelevant because they'd turn it over before the shot clock got anywhere near zero.

Most of our state title games saw shooting percentages around 30%, several teams in the 20s. Trust me, it was not due to stellar defending.

Aside from teams that had multiple P5 signees, the shooting from farther than 3 feet away simply isn't there for quick shots.
