And this, my friends, is why the Big 10, along with all other DI conferences, should use the Precision Timing Equipment used by the NBA, Pac-10, and a few other conferences. If you don't know what it is, it is basically a belt pack on each official that recognizes the sound of the whistle, and wirelessly transmits a signal to stop the clock when the whistle blows. This way, there can be NO timer error in this type of scenario.
