Title: TASO Timing for 2025
Post by: FWREF on April 15, 2025, 11:51:54 AM

I am hearing rumors that the UIL is considering adopting NCAA timing rules. I am curious as to what others are hearing and what the group thinks about timing rules for THSFB. I would personally favor adopting all NCAA timing except to stay with 12 min quarters  and continue to stop the clock for a first down. I don't think we need to shorten our game. What do you guys think.

I agree with not doing anything to shorten, I don't think game length is an issue.

OTOH it would simplify things for those that do NCAA ball and HS, but that's not a reason to adjust HS to NCAA.

Including the two minute timeout?

I was shocked the UIL didn't adopt the 2-minute time out last year. If they "shockingly" adopt the NCAA rule to re-start the game clock after an out-of-bounds, then I would absolutely expect them to adopt the 2-minute T/O. Otherwise, I don't think they'll adopt it.
