Saw a running clock for the first time the other day. For one, I think it was stupid as can be. All it did is take time away from some backups who dont see the floow often.
One thing I thought was HILARIOUS. First off, one team was horrid and poor effort, and the other was hitting everything but didnt press to run it up.
Team A was down 50+. Puts their backup varsity in with a couple of minutes left in the third. Team B, who was winning, pretty much do not have varsity backups (like 1 really) other than their JV Players. Team B puts their JV players in to start the 4th. Team A, down 60, starts to full court press when Team B puts in their JV!
Just thought it was....funny.
