Thumbs up Thanks M&M.

I just think one of their claims was bogus. You could waste a full minute if you called a foul. Between the foul, reporting the foul, substitutions and FTs, a lot of time would go off the clock. I know I would focus more on calling fouls because the clock would run and run. I would not even have to do anything special. Players in the game would not be familiar with where to go or stand or who is taking out the ball. The clock would run off mainly because of the uncertainty of the players and coaches at this point of the game. It is the same thing in football when we get to the mercy rule in that game.

Peace
