6. Teams have an option for a running clock if a game is out-of-hand and if both coaches agree.
The response I received to my question about the running clock from a Coosa Coach was that they had already told the refs before the game they weren't going to do a running clock because they hadn't played in 3 weeks and needed the reps.
To me this sounds like a cop out because they knew they were going to blow out CB and had no intentions of letting up on them. This way at least they can say "well we said no running clock before the game because we needed reps." They knew exactly what they were doing.
I agree MUBM. The coach had every intention of running the score up long before telling the refs that prior to kickoff. Heck, I?ve never heard of coaches discussing ?running clock? options with the Refs in pregame.
