Running Clock in the 2nd half

[parepat]

Just a comment on our Ohio rule. While a coach will often quietly tell you to run the clock, it is rare that they will agree to shorten the quarters. To them it appears that they are giving up on their team; whereas, a running clock can be blamed on the officials. Also, if we bring up shortening the quarters, we appear to be in a hurry to get the game over with. For these reasons, I disagree with the Ohio rule.
