In closing my final point you guys put me in my place and rightfully so I do plan to stick around this is just the kind of healthy debate I like(most of it) some got a little personal(a very small percentage).

aucella, the issue is that the official could have no way of knowing how much time is on the clock. he's watching the play, not the clock. I've had many situations where I knew time was winding down and was expecting a buzzer. The wait can seems endless sometimes. A clock starting at 7 or 8 seconds can take what seems like forever to be played. You can't stop officiating just because you're waiting for the horn to sound.
There's simply no way he can know there's .2 left.
