Of course some of the clock operators already knew how to do it.

I can appreciate the clock tweaking mechanic. When I was in college, I had a part time job as bookkeeper and clock operator for an adult rec league. I was the king of the clock tweak. I could run a good 20 or 30 seconds off the clock and nobody was the wiser. I did this for 3 years and never got busted on it. The key to it is to pick your spots. Distraction techniques such as asking the officials for a clarification work well.
