I always said I did not like the rule. The running clock only made the game go so fast. You might only knock off 10 minutes or so off the game. Also no one gets hurt in basketball like they do in football or even baseball. No one's arm is going to fall off if they play more basketball and no is going to get drilled into the ground by a vicious block or hit like football. These players in the summer play multiple games and they survive. The players can live a few more minutes and the players that sit on the bench can play. Like was said, the coaches would just use that moment to try to complain that we called the game differently.

Peace
