I am confused about this being a situation of a mistake with the clock. To be consistent, and if there are known equipment problems at Lloyd Noble, should the refs have been going to the monitor throughout the game then?
Thnking about what some are saying about calling it the same through the whole 40 minutes, why do this just at the end of a game?

Fanson,
Welcome to the forum.
First, officials can only follow the rules.
Secondly, the game could slow down to a crawl.
The game would be as exciting as watching paint dry.
With known timing problems, a substitute timing device, or timer, may be used.
