looking for mercy rule input

[JeffTheRef]

My old timey AAU team, back when there were only 6 teams in the State, not 600, was blowing out a very good high school team in a post season tournament. Every time we came down the floor, those guys dug in. They probably only stopped us from scoring about 5 times in the whole game but they treated each chance as challenge. They took it as an opportunity to get better.

'Mercy Rule' is attractive . . . governmental overkill. It's not necessary. The officials and the coaches can find the right balance of play in difficult situations.
