So UIL follows college rules, but the notable exception is not starting the clock on the ready after an out of bounds play. Why does the UIL insist on making this exception? I actually like this college rule as it keeps the game clock moving. Furthermore, why does the UIL not use the 10 second runoff rule?

We use 12 min quarters and the thought is the game is the right length without the timing mods. I have heard the 10 sec runoff issue is over whether or not it is too complicated for officials and coaches

I don't know that it's too complicated. But can you imagine being at a SV game or even a Friday night game without a microphone and trying to get gn seconds off the clock?

How about just have the referee give the clock wind signal and after 10 seconds, give the clock stop signal. Or even have a pre-determined signal to run 10 seconds off. Face the clock operator, do something like an X, and a wind.

Or not run the 10 seconds off at all. Those games are already short and this is a learning experience for them. So the JV coaches want it run like a Varsity game or a Saturday game...tough! It's not a Varsity game and the player could still use the learning experience. If he didn't need it, I would suspect he would be playing on the Varsity squad.
