Were any of these mistakes where the clock was running, stopped without a whistle then started again? I doubt it very seriously. I can understand making sure the clock stops on a whistle and starts on the touch, these are the mistakes that we should be catching.

Again we should be checking to make sure it stops on a whistle and starts on a touch &/or possession. Why would you be looking @ the clock while it was running? Other then in shot clock games where we take a look @ the game clock to get the change of possession time. In this play the shot clock was off!!
