Pennsylvania's PIAA adoptions for basketball games at all levels include a mercy rule with a running clock in the second half of games in which one team has a 40-point lead over their opponent. In this case, the clock stops for granted time-outs, free throw attempts (we are to signal the timer to stop the clock once our foul report awarding free throws is completed), and injuries requiring a coach's attention.
