Ref told me the H team coach was pissed because he thought they should have just done a manual count instead of stopping play allowing the other team to set up on defense.

What say you.
Coach, we wouldn't be having this conversation if you had provided a timer who knows the HS rules.

Now if the visiting team is getting shafted, I'm not blowing the whistle and just counting out the clock.
