DIAA Boys Basketball Committee votes 5yes-2no-1abstain to RECOMMEND the use of a shot clock for next season. Would likely need Girls Committee, and then it would be up to the DIAA Board to sort out all the hows and ifs. Doesn't mean it will happen.

Committee Member Joe Thomson notes that many schools in Delaware don't have up-to-date scoreboards, so not only will there be a shot clock cost, but also a new scoreboard, and then staffing. In a budget-tight era for schools.

DIAA Boys Basketball Committee discussing a potential points system change. Wanting to put more emphasis on wins than schedule difficulty. (Currently, there are games where the winning team and losing team get the same playoff points)

Coaches and ADs have been charged with offering a single-proposal for a boys basketball tournament change/expansion by the committee. 'We're always open to change' Nothing coming today beyond that.

Stanford to the ACC sure feels like a winning move now, although I guess it wasn't light years worse than a non-Pac 12 answer. Going to be real interesting to see if that program can maintain any momentum.
