I would not have a problem with less teams making the post season. I think you should have to earn it. However it should be against your level. The all A classic is successful and well attended because those schools have a chance. Pretty hard for a school of 200 to beat PRP or Eastern here in Louisville when they have over 2,000 students. So in the current set up I have no problem with every team going to post season and a running clock at 35 point deficit is appropriate

I have already been to a couple games where the running clock has come into play and so far I'm just not a big fan of it.

 

It is an outstanding rule. Being on both ends of that spectrum it serves its purpose. No team wants to lose by 60 or 70 points. Yes, there is not much time to sub but at the same time, play the younger kids most if not all of the 2nd half. No one wants to play a full half up 60-70 points either. 35 is the perfect number IMO.

Thats the problem coaches have to deal with especially the good teams. Dont the varsity kids deserve to play also. You have freshman and JV games for the younger kids. Varsity kids work hard each practice to play also. I actually think coaches will sub more knowing that its a running clock.

Does it really matter if you lose by 45 or by 65?

I don't mind the running clock. The games get sloppy at the end as frustration sets in or less skilled players enter the contest.

I love it. Let's get those snoozers over with quicker.

Haven't been to a game yet where this is in play. Sould get to see it tonight when we play Madison Central.
