Get ready to gain valuable insights into the world of high school basketball on the CIAC Glory Days podcast. We're talking shot clock implementation and the art of managing emotions in the heat of the game. Together with Gary Franklin, Chair of the CIAC Boys Basketball Committee, and Catrina Hawley-Stewart, head girls basketball coach, we’re discussing everything from coaching strategies to the impact of emotions on player performance. 

Ever wonder how high-stakes competition and passion can sway decision-making and sportsmanship? We're diving headfirst into this topic, discussing a new rule that helps players regain composure after receiving a technical foul. Hear from our guests about the challenges and rewards of managing emotions and expectations in sports, the important role of leadership in promoting sportsmanship, and implementing a shot clock. 

Host Jada Mirabelle is joined by Gregg Simon (CIAC Associate Executive Director), Dave Schulz (FCIAC Commissioner and CIAC Boys Basketball Tournament Director), and Dan Scavone (CIAC Assistant Director and Directors CIAC Officials Association) to discuss rules changes for the upcoming season, and how the formula works to determine divisional placements for boys basketball.

Rule changes for the 2023-2024 season include the addition of a 35-second shot clock and the elimination of the one-and-one foul shooting scenario.
