I'm with Coach on this one. What is the common goal at the HS level? To have good competitive games? If you add additional rules because school B doesn't want to (or isn't able to) be competitive, don't hold back school A who does.

With that said, as for coaches who think they're "the next Geno" and keep their starters on the floor in blowouts, I don't know what you do with those guys. I could come up with a few ideas but...

Special rules, no backcourt defense, etc. is OK for grade school but at sometime you have to stand and walk (or in this case, get back and play D!).
