From today's NY Times..... "A Tennessee official said after the game that the scoreboard clock was controlled by a remote wireless device that the referees wear on their belts, and that it was NOT controlled by anyone at the scorers table."
That kinda puts a different slant on it, doesn't it?
If it's in the Times, it must be true.

It's been a couple of years since I investigated PTS, but my understanding is that it's always manually controllable from the clock console. The PTS units I've actually seen all plug into the clock console.
As for the article, what's this about? “I myself was watching the clock the whole time,” said Essence Carson, the Rutgers senior forward. “It’s just unbelievable how anyone can take that many shots in that amount of time and still have time left on the clock.”
If she was actually watching the clock the whole time, wouldn't her follow-on statement be that she witnessed the clock stop? Rather than speculation about how anybody could take that many shots in that amount of time? It's an emotional rant thinly disguised as some kind of eye-witness account.
