Just a thought. In most of the rec leagues I work, there's some aspect of running clock. Either the whole game is played that way (usually with stop clock at the end if it's close) or running clock if the point differential gets large. All but one use the rule that, coming out of a timeout or at the beginning of the 2nd, 3rd or 4th quarters, the clock starts when the ball becomes live. That means you chop it when you hand the ball to the inbounder (or FT shooter following a TO), not when it's subsequently touched on the court on the inbound play. The theory is that if there hadn't been a timeout, the clock would be running starting at that point, except for the FTs, but I guess it makes sense that way, too since the clock runs during FTs in a running clock game.

You may want to check to see if this is how it's going to work for you guys.
