I don't need you or any other timer to signal to me that there's less than 1 minute on the clock.

I do not need you interjecting yourself into the game beyond those responsibilities.

I believe I'll probably notice if the scoreboard stops working. We'll handle that if needed.

No, the shot clock buzzer sounds when that happens. We don't use a shot clock here.

You need to focus on the things the rule book requires you to do and stop worrying about these other things. Otherwise, you become a nightmare for the officials working the game.
Concerning the shot clock, I'm meaning the gym is so noisy that the buzzer cannot be heard.

I know it's not required for the PA Announcer to announce last minute in period/game.

As I have stated numerous times before, majority of the games I do are JV/C-Squad where the scorer is a student that seems to be there as a fan. So I have to go above & beyond what's required to ensure the game runs smoothly.
