I ref the Upwards basketball league and they too use amended HS rules. They do not have a throw in count or half court count, no closely guarded; the clock runs continuously except for period breaks. No Techs; only change of possession. However, they did write into their rules that the Offense must "purposefully" attack the defense. Supposed to be a non competitive (less competetive, rather) league so less skilled players can participate equally. I still had to warn the coaches who tried to use up the clock holding his team in the backcourt since they did not allow BC defense. So what should be about young kids playing their hearts out still comes down to coaches trying to manipulate rules..... too funny.
