I am lead. A passes ball in from baseline in BC and starts dribbling up court. As A1 reaches mid court I notice clock hasn't started so I pause to make sure then blow it dead. As I blow the whistle, the clock operator starts the clock. I don't notice this until the clock reads 3:25 as I am approaching my partner near top of key. I look over and tell clock operator to stop the clock. He doesn't, just looks at me with this goofy blank stare. I repeat, "Please stop the clock". Finally he stops it at 3:15.

I'm pretty sure I know what to do but want to hear what you guys say.
Follow your partner's (or your's) BC count. Using that count you have the definitive knowledge of the time to take off the clock.
