We pre-game the proper timing procedures with the table. Whether they follow what we pre-game with them is a whole 'nother matter. If they don't, we correct them.....or replace them. I find it very hard to believe that you have a varsity timer that is constantly screwing-up and nothing is done about it.

Starting and stopping the clock when an official blows their whistle or gives a visual signal isn't freaking rocket science, no matter what slant you try to put on it. It's a matter of paying attention. We've got 14-year old kids working the clock locally that do a great job and we also have some adults that constantly screw up.
