There's all sorts of questions that can be asked about the use of a running clock. Depending on the rules being used, that is.

Different State Associations, rec organizations, etc. have different rules/regulations so what may be good for the goose, isn't for the gander.
This is why I think these rules are unnecessary in basketball. The clock runs most of the time anyway. I also doubt that if someone has a 30 point lead in a basketball game, they are going to come back that quickly with a running clock. Maybe in a stop clock game, but not likely with such a wide lead. And if that is possible the leading team is stupid as heck to let it happen.

Peace
