riverdaleman Posted September 4, 2021 Report Share Posted September 4, 2021 in basketball when the mercy rule starts it never stops, So if they start the running clock at 35 points and the other team scores a buckett and the lead drops to 33 the clock still runs...is it different in football?

B-games, JV, whatever you want to call it, provides lots of snaps. If the game is that much out of control, the 4th quarter is basically a JV game or if the coaches dislike each other the 1st team is killing the seconds and 3rds.

JDHoss Posted September 4, 2021 Report Share Posted September 4, 2021 While I understand the intent, I don't like the mercy rule because it takes away playing time from the kids who don't get to play much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hate that it takes snaps away from kids who don't get much playing time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
