running clock?

Even if the other team manages to catch up, the clock continues to run. I was also told if, in the miraculous situation the other team comes back and we go to overtime, there would be a running clock in the OT as well.

Time-out, injury, DQ's, techincal fouls, and officials timeout stop the clock. Also, you are correct, if OT happens, running clock in OT.

Used the Michigan running clock last night. (40 points; 2nd half) Subs in the game.
Partner calls foul at 1:15 in 4th on trailing team. I stopped clock at 1:03 and reset it to 1:15.

Sub [leading team], who I was watching in pregame warmups and who was having major problems with his shot, stepped to the line.

First one bounced around, dropped and the fans went nuts. 2nd banked in and the fans went double-nuts. The kid did all he could to maintain his cool, but most could tell these shots were really meaningful !

I am pleased the Michigan rule allows the clock to stop in the last 2 minutes for free throws.
