On a separate note, anyone notice the shot clock location?

They just moved the clocks in that gym this year from the wall to the top of the backboard as is now required by the NCAA. However, the problem is that the mounting location they chose puts the clock right at the top edge of the backboard and is only offset by the thickness of the board....almost flush with the board.

I had a game there early this year where we had two situations where the ball was in that vicinity and you simply couldn't tell for sure if the ball hit just above the edge on the clock or just below or on the edge on the board. I was the T on one and neither the C or I could tell. On the other situation, I was the L and neither the C or the T could tell. You almost need to be directly beside the basket to tell how high/low the ball hit when in the area of the clock.
