I am with Coach Bill and most of the coaches in Illinois if they feel that way. I do not see this as a big deal an if it saves what like 15 minutes, that is not worth it to eliminate a couple kids that could play game. If we are keep being told this is about the kids, then let them play. I really do not care that darn much to save a few minutes.

Now for tournament sake where multiple games could be going on at a time, then yes, get the games over with if you can for the integrity of the schedule. Otherwise, let the kids play a little longer.

Peace
