Before I threw my shoe through the TV screen, I asked Terry if he had ever heard of the ten run rule in softball. I also told him that they let the clock run during my daughter’s blowout basketball games. Guess what? The buzzer has sounded and you and your boss didn’t hear it. I suppose if the game changer didn’t happen, its time to try a rule changer.
