Never question the fun.
Mick,
I never said it was pretty or enjoyable. But then again, i did not have one 30 point game this past year. I also think in the long run, it hurts both teams. Kids that could get a change to play will get time taken away from them, and the kids need to play more will get that taken away too. So basically the stradegy will be to get the score above a certain level and press to run the score up. And because basketball it can be hard to do that completely, you will foster more resentment from the loser and deprive kids that could play, little time to improve. If this happens more on the girl's side, I do not think it is far to make a rule that affects both genders.
But then again, I am one person that has an opinion on this. I just think officials are more motivated by leaving early than giving the kids the opportunity to play. It is that way with football.
Peace
