Maybe it's just me, but I've been seeing a whole lot of bird-dogging in the tournament. I don't do it anymore, but these "big dogs" sure seem to!
The older guys are -- yes. I wonder how many of them do it during the regular season too, yet there are enough younger officials mixed in to make it less noticeable.

I don't have a problem with stopping the clock first -- but just like the birddog it could be made optional. I've seen some NCAA officials stopping the clock and most not stopping the clock -- the world hasn't ended because its being done a little differently once in a while.
