bradfordwilkins,
An interesting point in that Mike Bibby [NBA] game.
The official explained to Frattello?? that they (officials) checked the ball in the air before the horn, but were not allowed to check the proper starting of the clock.

Well, especially seeing that they're the ones who are supposed to start the clock . . .
There's always going to be some delay in starting the clock, at least until they can somehow put the PT system into the ball. Even if replay was allowed, it's pretty hard to determine exactly when the clock started vis a vis when it should have started.
