Concerning the fact the this is the 1st year for WIAA to have the running clock for basketball, it does not surprise me that fans are yelling for the clock to stop once the running clock does go into effect during a game.

The only reason why I know about the running clock is because I make an effort to learn the rules, & decided I'd check the WIAA Handbook to see about if there's any state-specific rules changes. This same method was how I knew about the addition of the 35 sec. shot clock for boys last year.

The general game watching populace doesn't even want to make an effort to find out what the rules are, just want to complain about what they see by their understanding.
