Re: Not going to help much.

As much as it sounds appealing, I hope they never change this rule. Basketball is not football. You are not jeapordizing a serious injury by playing these kids for a few more minutes.
I never saw anything to indicate they were worried about injuries. It was undue embarrassment they were concerned about.
If they are that bad, maybe they need to practice more and the teams with the stronger team needs to back off with the defensive pressure and shooting up three pointers.
You mean leave it in the hands of the coaches and that will solve it? The reason they are thinking about doing it is that they have left it in the coaches hands and it isn't working.
You can still play without embarrassing a team and using a running clock. I do not think running the clock is going to help this lesson.
It won't prevent blowouts, but it will allow the teams (and more importantly, the officials) a way to get out of the debacle a few minutes earlier. :-)
