Mercy Rule

[JRutledge]

I am sure it happened somewhere, but I do not buy that was a major problem. What officials figured out was that when we called fouls that was a time to take more time off the clock. It became an art form to know how to milk the clock. That sounds more like a bunch of coaches that want to think that was happening rather than that really happening.

The biggest opposition to this rule I heard was coaches could not play the kids that did not play as much. This would especially take place at the lower levels where coaches wanted to develop their programs.
