It actually was quite easy -- the winning team's center (face it, a team down by 70 could probably sit in the lane and rub two sticks together and start a fire and I'd probably notice my shoe was untied) got the ball in the lane and passed it out and never left. Her coach was telling her to get out of the lane. I wait a few more beats and then finally called it.

Of course that prompted the crowd to yell for it on every subsequent possession, all of which had balls bouncing off the rim or the like. Hey, they needed something to cheer for.
Running clock in the land behind the cheddar curtain?

Um, no.

Personally, I don't see the need for a running clock, even with a 71-5 game. After 32 minutes of game play, we go home.

It actually went quickly. Neither team was in the bonus either half. We started at 7PM and were off the floor by 8:10PM.

Yeah, the players always get out once the opposing coach & fans started yelling for it.
"I was just about to call it but you helped out by reminding him, COACH!"

I nearly told a coach last night: "The rule requires three whole seconds."
