I like Minnesota's rule, just need to tweek it for 8-minute quarters.

Nfhs 5-5-3 ...
 
NFHS 5-5-3: A quarter(s) may be shortened in an emergency or at any time by mutual agreement of the opposing coaches and referee. Playing time and number of quarters for nonvarsity game quarters may be reduced by mutual agreement of opposing coaches. NOTE: A state association by adoption may institute a running clock when a specified point differential is reached at a specified time in the game.

We have this rule in Kansas for League games as it's adopted league to league; inter-league games it has to be agreed upon by both HC.

Alaska is running clock in the fourth quarter with a 40 point lead. The clock stops on timeouts and T's. Never stops otherwise. No mater how close the score becomes.

In our area of the state, clever coaches will often keep the gap below 40 so as to get the full 32 minutes of playing time for his/her team. This seems especially common for sub-level teams where the coach may have an over abundance of bench that he'd like to see receive some playing time. The 18th player doesn't get to experience much if there's a running clock, or so the philosophy seems to go.

This would also be a reasonable (in my opinion) reason for not agreeing to a running clock situation.
