Each official has a little radio box on their hip which is attached to a mini microphone on a lanyard. You can only use a Fox 40 whistle (or at least that is all you could use) and every time an official blows the whistle, the clock should stop. The little box also has a button on the device so you can start the clock. And there is a device at the scorer's table that is connected to the devices on the official's hip. The timer has the same device or buttons they have on any other timing device. And they have to stop the clock for under a minute after a made basket. I can tell you the official have no say in that stoppage at all unless there is a whistle blown. So this idea that only the officials stop the clock is not correct.
