A push for shot clocks to be used in Florida high school boys and girls varsity basketball games hit a snag Wednesday morning.

A panel of athletic directors narrowly voted 8-7 to not endorse the recommendation following an hour-long discussion during the Florida High School Athletic Association’s online winter sports advisory committee meeting.

In other business, the committee voted in favor of revising how playoff teams are seeded for region tournaments and approved an increase in medals awarded during state wrestling competition.

Wednesday marked the first official reading by the committee on a proposal to utilize a 30-second shot clock for basketball .
