In our chapter, we've been instructed to have the timer stop the clock after we are done reporting the foul. I include this in my pregame chat with the table.

Coachp is right, the clock stops whenthe diference is less than 30.

Not to get others confused, coach is only talking about the Michigan rules. The mercy rule is dictated by state, so it could be different from state to state. For instance in PA once the 40 point rule is in effect it stays that way even if they go under it. (Has to be in the second half)

In California we run the clock with one team ahead 40+ in the 4'th. The only reason that the clock should be stopped is for a time-out (either team or injury)!
