I have an assistant coach with the responsibility to go check the clock a few minutes into the halftime and report the time back to me.
Only once did I have any issue with the three-minute rule. At an away game we had a terrible first half and had a lot to cover in the break. All of the coaches were involved and we never did check the clock. We came out to a clock showing less than a minute, and I didn't want to go straight from the talking to the playing, so I went to the officials, told them no one notified us at three minutes, and could they please reset the clock to 3:00, which they did. We shot around for a couple minutes, rallied back, and lost in OT.
