Why should the team behind catch a break with clock management in the final two minutes? It is obviously done to make those final 2 minutes more exciting, but it is hardly fair to the team ahead who built the lead on another set of rules for 58 minutes.
I agree. It's kind of like when officials run around like headless chickens to spot the ball during the last two minutes, when all that does is give one team an advantage.
