In football, there is a mandated continuous clock when one team gets a 35-point

advantage over it’s opponent in the second half. The clock would only stop at the

end of the quarter, for timeouts, injuries, scores, and safety purposes. If the

margin falls below 35-points, regular timing procedures will take effect.

 

In basketball, there is a mandated continuous clock when one team gets a 35-point

advantage over it’s opponent in the fourth quarter. The clock would only stop for

shooting fouls, timeouts, injuries, and the administration of technical fouls.

The clock will continue to run for the remainder of the game, regardless if the

point differential gets closer than 35-points.

    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say ..

    • speaking of board members how can a man get arrested 12 days ago and still be head coaching a team in TC school system? looks like your right about the tc board members. I bet it would be different if they had a kid on the team
