How hard is it to keep a fucking clock? Every game I watch there are 3+ stoppages due to clock malfunction.

Either they are using the world's worst clocks or they have retarded people running them.

Then it takes 5 full minutes to fix it, completely killing any game flow. :hammerit

The clock operator is part of a NCAA officiating crew.
All on-court officials now have frequency/pitch monitors so time starts and stops on whistles. (not sure how common that feature is though)

And look at this manual. I know its their job and should know the tools of the trade but damn theres alot going on there

I've personally done it for NCAA div 2 and div 3, and this past season did the official scorers book. My experience is that the table workers are all employees of the universities.

I have seen plenty of malfunctions with the actual clocks, but 95% of the time it is human error

You'd be surprised how many subtle clock rules change from year to year. This season the rule changed that if there is a defensive foul in the front court, the offense gets 20 seconds on the shot clock ( if it was less ). The same with a kicked ball... I think that used to be 15 secs. And with the advent of replay, you've got a lot more stoppage to make sure that both the clock and shot clock have accurate settings

How did you get into that?

What brought that on?

Hit and run JC. It's his new style.

Comes into threads and says ridiculous shit and then disappears when you call him on it.

Here's an example where I replied on-topic without calling any names and he and EF went crazy, accusing me of going apeshit on people for no reason. Crazy, huh?

They have this weird little faggot alliance and they have decided they don't like me. Which means I must be doing something right.
