We have it for private schools, but not public. I thought they might add it this year after the fiasco with one state champion who beat a district foe like 91-0. Some idiot filed a bullying complaint against the head coach of the winning team. What was baffling was whoever "received" the report did something other than wad it up and throw it away. Anyway, I thought they'd go ahead and do the right thing and mandate the running clock. Too many times, the losing coach is so pissed at his players (nothing to do with coaching, of course) he wants them to "be taught a lesson," or some such nonsense. He doesn't seem to understand that injury frequency increases and that game management becomes hell in many of those situations. In other situations, the winning coach has something personal against the other coach or staff and really does want to lay it on.
If there's a better example of the proper time for the state organization to save coaches from themselves, I don't know what it is.
