Thanks for some ideas. Just to clarify. This is Florida HS. The mercy rule is 35 points anytime during the second half. Once the 35 point margin is established the clock only stops for time outs, injuries and technical fouls. Even if a team claws their way back to 2 points, or sends the game to OT, the clock still runs (as OT is an extension of the 4th quarter).

Kind of weird -- as Hawks coach said, this is not the way basketball was meant to be played.
