See https://www.myvirtualofficialsassociation.com/?p=626 for more information on stopping the clock. The reason why the NFHS and CCA men's manuals require stopping the clock is because the "stop the clock" signal is what technically stops play, as well as reminds the clock operator to stop the clock, and gives the official time to process the play before making a decision. |
31 years of officiating and almost 20 on this forum and you might be the first person to talk to me like I'm 4 years old.
It's the first of multiple shots. How many violations have you seen or called on the first of multiple shots? You know they don't stand there for the final shot, right?
The whistle stops play. If I blow my whistle and don't raise my hand, does the clock stop? Yes, of course it does.
