As high school state associations (NFHS) and collegiate governing bodies (NCAA) continue to adopt and mandate shot clock rules across interscholastic basketball, athletic facilities face the challenge of retrofitting existing gymnasiums with code-compliant timing hardware.
To streamline installation and ensure structural safety, Bison Inc. has released an expanded lineup of universal Shot Clock Mounting Brackets and Integrated Wireless Backboard LED Lighting Systems. Engineered to fit a wide range of backstop structures, wall types, and portable goals, these mounting solutions allow facility managers to upgrade courts without costly structural modifications.
Technical Hardware Specifications & Mounting Options
Shot clock placement must meet strict visibility requirements while maintaining structural integrity during live-game vibration. Bison’s heavy-duty steel mounting brackets are supplied in pairs and include all necessary hardware for secure mounting.

Streamlined Technology: Integrated Wireless Shot Clock & LED Systems
Upgrading a gymnasium for shot clocks traditionally required running expensive electrical conduit and installing complex hardwired interfaces to existing control console scoreboards.
To solve this cost and installation hurdle, Bison offers the SHCLK400 In Time Shot Clock & Correct Call 2.0 Backboard LED System.
Key System Features:
- Integrated Backboard LED Strip: Combines high-visibility shot clock displays with official red/yellow LED backboard perimeter lighting to indicate end-of-period and shot-clock expiration.
- Wireless Control Technology: Eliminates the need to pull control cables through walls or ceiling trusses, dramatically reducing electrician labor costs and facility downtime.
- Standalone or Scoreboard-Independent Operation: Designed to operate seamlessly without requiring expensive proprietary interface modules or complete scoreboard replacements.
