Exactly. Some officials won't enforce uniform rules as it is at the risk of making coaches upset. They really won't enforce it when they have to seatbelt the coach before the game starts.

Maybe it's not 30--but it's too close to ruin those kind of finishes.

I have never seen a mercy rule game get closer than 20 once it hits a 30-point spread. Ours is 30 in the 4th quarter but it stops if the lead gets back under 30. I would change it to run it once it hits 30 in the 4th quarter and it never stops no matter what the score is.

I love the two FTs on the 5th foul of any quarter and reset the team fouls after each quarter.

I don't want a shot clock. Aside from the cost, getting someone to run it reliably would be a disaster.
