One of the guys who had this game followed me last Friday as he had the varsity tilt. My game was 41-6, but I had nothing on him.

*YAWN
 

So did they get paid for reffing that one? Although the pace was slow, I bet the clock went pretty fast!

Not fast enough. The losing coach is a former official I am told. They were paid for their pain and suffering. In the old days you could order the team behind to play.

Maybe there is a way to reinstall the lack of action rule only in cases where it is actually needed.

I wonder if anyone had fun other than the coaches. Not the players. Not the fans. Not the officials.

"Shot clock, shot clock, shot clock!"

Alas, we find the only good reason for a shot clock. About every 5 years we need one.

I woulda had a great time. Let's see... I bet the game took all of 40 minutes.

My question is, why did the better team play along? They almost went to OT b/c they just never bothered to try to score in the 2nd half. That just seems dumb to me.

As an official, I would have mixed emotions......
1. Boring.
2. We will get in, get done, and get out a bit quicker tonight.

50 years from now, I'd imagine those guys from both teams will be still be talking about that 5-2 game. If it had been 78-46, they'll forget it in a heartbeat.

The only good shot clock, is a dead shot clock.

At this point in the season and when I think about the games coming up, I need a game like this tonight!

Completely agree Chuck. The better team played right into their hands. I have actually seen this happen before, of course not such a low score. SHOT CLOCK WOULD SOLVE THIS JUNK!!

Nah, every 35 seconds, turnover.

I seem to recall a link in the last couple of months for a game that ended 7-4. Anyone remember it or have the link?
