I can’t say what brought it about, nor can I say I like that. All I can say is it definitely doesn’t change back to normal clock. 14 minutes ago, Mrvoodoo said: I sat in on an official’s rules clinic and I can tell you they stressed that it doesn’t change back.

Anything under 35 will be like a regular game. I just sent a text to an official I know to confirm. He said over 35 clock runs under 35 normal game clock operation. Now there will be some officials that will "accidentally" let some time run off in a game that is under 35pts where everyone knows that a comeback wont be happening.

Mrvoodoo Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 (edited) Direct quote from the rule: [[[Any time the score differential reaches thirty-five points or more, the following changes will be made regarding rules determining when the clock will be stopped and/or started. In addition, in keeping with the rules that allow for mutual agreement between coaches for period shortening, the running clock may be implemented at any time by mutual agreement of the coaches. Coaches choice may not supersede the automatic provisions with a 35 point differential 1. Once the running clock provisions are implemented, the clock shall continue to run from the point that the differential occurs (and shall not return to official time) with the following clarifications: ]]] then there are provisions such as player injury, administering fouls, heat time outs, etc. Note that the rule directly from the Director of Officials states “shall not return to official time” - nor does it state a half or anything else.

That is correct. Once the score reaches 35 point differential at any point in 2nd half the clock runs for the duration of the game except for extra points, time outs, injury, and first downs. If Team A subs and Team B doesn't and cuts the score under 35, doesn't matter, clock keeps rolling. I like the rule. However I think 35 is too many for basketball. Basket ball needs to be no more than 25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vott Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 How does the mercy rule seem to be working out? i have seen a lot of 35pt or more wins since the season started. Had an official I attend church with that in his game last week a team had a 34pt lead and the coach made his holder get up and fall down to avoid a 35pt lead and a hot clock just so he could get his inexperienced guys some quality playing time.

In my opinion, referees looking for an easier Friday night. The coaches were already allowed to agree to a running clock when the score got out of hand. In the past, if both teams had a lot of younger players, they gained experience. Whether you are a fan or not, referees have nothing to do with rules that are passed by the NFHS or the Mississippi HSAA. Referees enforce the rules as directed by NFHS and Mississippi HSAA. If coaches don't like the rule, they can vote to change it. Referees don't have that option. In games where the score gets one sided, the referees work harder to keep the players from fighting and other things young folks do when they get frustrated. Coaches still have the ability to agree to a running clock, shortening periods, etc., but they must do that before the second half. Referees are easy targets, but you need to direct your opinion to the rule makers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yearsoftryin Posted October 13, 2022 Author Share Posted October 13, 2022 The MissHSAA executive committee and its directors make the rules for Mississippi that are allowed by NFHS. The rule making process for the NFHS is set forth on their website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
