One play clock? absolutely Bob, I also would not permit it's use with only one or if either of them conked out. My experience this year with three games at these two fields was that they (the teams) liked having the visible play clock.
Only one delay call and it wouldn't have matter as they were so messed up that even a 40 second clock would not have been long enough.

There is a community college up the road an hour from my location where I've worked NCAA games and they set out a pair of portable play clocks that I'm told are also used for basketball. Very visible from the field and wired up to the press box clock operator for control.

I'm not advocating mandating PCs but if you have them or can get them installed cheaply, such as these portable ones, I say use them.
