LONE TREE — Stall ball is dead. A shot clock is coming to Colorado high school basketball at the varsity level in 2026-27, passing by a vote of 40-30 at Tuesday’s CHSAA Legislative Council meeting at the DCSD Legacy Campus. The 35-second shot clock applies to all classifications, boys and girls. Since the National Federation of High Schools officially approved the shot clock in 2021 and other states began implementing it in 2022-23, Colorado basketball coaches and fans have been pushing for the shot clock here. That movement started to gain serious traction in 2023 when the basketball committee surveyed CHSAA member schools to gauge interest.
