The Indiana High School Athletic Association (IHSAA) has announced a rule change for the upcoming boys and girls 2021-22 basketball season. Approved was a motion that at all levels of play and in the state tournament (except for the finals) a running clock will be initiated after the first half when one team has a lead of at least 35 points. Once the running clock begins, regular timing procedures will not be used for the remainder of the game. The game clock will run continuously except for situations such as an injury, a charged team timeout, quarter break, a foul with free throws and safety factors.
