Had my first experience with the 30 point blow-out rule at YBOA nationals in FL and have to say I can't stand it. We had two games where the margin got real big really quick, and we began to adjust. Unfortunately, while we were learning to play at a higher level, the clock started running and our game got shortened an unbelievable amount. They even ran it during FTs. And the real problem was that you had to cut the margin to 20 to get the clock going again. I don't like, won't like it. We went down to play, so let us play and let the chips fall where they may.

I agree about games at those higher levels. It really isn't fair, and it's not what most people at that level want.
I do think it has a place at the school level, though, and that it can be a useful tool. I can't see that it would be all that difficult to ask coaches before the game what they want to do.
