Luther, I don't think you're going to get a case number, b/c there's no situation under FED rules in which the clock would be running during a FT (even by state adoption, I think).

Although, now I see a smiley in your post. Were you just funnin' me?
Under NFHS Rules, running clock is a state option. So what may be true for me (in MI) may not be true:

Here, if a game has a 40 point margin in the second half, the clock becomes a running clock and stops only for time outs, the intermission between periods 3 and 4, and free throws in the last minute of the game (or is it last 2 minutes, I can't remember that part at the moment). Also, if the margin is cut back to 30 or less, we go back to a regular clock.
