Connecticut adopts score control policy

Running clock would be the way to go. In our 8 man conferences if it hits 45 at or after halftime then the game is over. I would like to see it all become running clock automatically, no choice on the part of either coach.

Why is being better than your opponent "unsportsmanlike"? If they really were worried about the losing team they should allow the losing coach to end the game at any point. Guess how many would do it.....NONE. This is the most ridiculous rule I have ever heard.

Come on now. You know that there are a bunch of feel good, don't hurt anyones feelings, let's give everyone a trophy at the end of the year administrators out there that will see this and think it is just great and start pushing it for their districts are well.

Why stop at football though? Hey basketball coach, you won by more than 35 points tonight. You are suspended, teach those kids how to miss some shots. Hey wrestling coach, your team is pinning too many opponents. You're suspended till you can teach those guys how to just win by one or two points. Hey hockey coach, you need to teach your goalie how to let a few more pucks get by him and into the net so you aren't beating teams by six goals again. Your suspended.
