As for the slowing an opponent down, Im not too bothered by that but when people start leaving arenas because of how someone is going above and beyond slowing players down thats when I do have a problem because that is harming the sport.
I don't remember seeing that happen although people do leave when a match is considerably boring due to negative snooker. Like King v McLeod at the Crucible recently. Neither would have played much differently under a shot clock. As Marco Fu has shown, if you want to the shot clock can make snooker way more negative than normal if both players are scared to take on shots.
King vs McLeod was a great match, I thoroughly enjoyed cos there was tension in it.

Rory would need protection.
It would be even more uncomfortable than Hann v Hicks.

Rory would need a corner man - like in the boxing - watching his back at all times. Are there searches for knives when you enter the Crucible ..................
