The funny thing was we had the running clock happening in the Girls' Varsity game at the same time.
|
Had the 2nd game of the year where the running clock was instituted, where I was Table Ops. This time Boys' V.
Only happened with less than 2 minutes left in the game. Heard several fans, both on home side & visitor side, complain about the clock still running when ball went OOB. |
Question concerning running clock
For anyone/everyone that's done running clock when should the clock stop for FTs?
We were told tonight for the Boys' V, to stop the clock as soon as official was in FRA reporting the foul & number of FTs. The other night when I had the running clock during the Boys' C-Squad game, I stopped the clock as soon as I saw the calling official signal FTs before reporting the foul. Also how often do you hear fans yelling about the clock still running? |
I'm trying JR, but it ain't easy.

As to the fans yelling about the clock, who cares? If what you say is true and this is the first year adopting the running clock, then expect to hear the cat calls until everyone realizes the rule change. |
From my understanding from attending the local Officials' Association meetings, there hasn't been a clarification of when to stop the clock for FTs.
Fans yell about the craziest things don't they? Quote:

I'm coming to your locale Wednesday night for the BV game...if we have a blowout, you do know it is going to be all your fault.;) Concerning the 40 point mercy rule: Keep the clock running untill the official reports the foul and indicates there will be foul shots...then you can turn off the clock and wait for the official to signal a start of the clock with a "chop". Stop clock for TO's and between quarters. There you go...that part of our pre-game is over...now we can talk about what you are going to get Mrs. Scorekeeper for Christmas.;) |
That's what we were told last night during the Boys' V game where I was shot clock.
I remember on the meeting on the 13th, there was discussing of exactly when the clock should stop for FTs & nothing concrete had been concluded yet. At least that's been finalized. unfortunately I don't have the full stats for the team we're going against Wednesday night, the only thing I do know it it'll be 1A vs. 2B. Also that we won't have C-Squads. Unless there's an illness or the V Timer just doesn't show up, I'll be either shot clock or crowd control during Boys' V Wednesday night. As for Christmas Present, with what money? :eek: Being together on Christmas should be present enough for any couple. Quote:
