This is why teams (especially football) should not be allowed
to run out the clock. Ever notice when the expected winners
kill the game 1 or 2 min. left on the clock hanging on for
dear life.
How would an enforceable rule be written to prevent it? I don’t think doing that would be possible.
That’s why they invented shot clocks, etc. You also have time outs and the ability to take the ball away. If you can’t stop them despite all that, you don’t deserve to win.
