When can the official stop the clock? I, until this week, thought the officials could stop the clock whenever there is a problem that gives one team a 5 on 4 advantage. What can you tell me? Thanks!

Why would we stop the game when it's 5 on 4? That puts a team at a disadvantage not allowed by the rules.
Stop the play when the player's team is in possession! Or you can stop play when the opposing team is not attacking the basket or in the midst of running a play.
