I remember hearing Edgar Cartotto many many times saying that his officials (when he was the Supervisor of Men's and Women's Officials for the NCAA Div. I Northeast Conf.) had better giving the stopped clock signal. The signal tells everybody involved that the clock must be stopped if running.

MTD -
A Dallas Shirley reference !!!!! You have just moves to the top of my list
in the respect department. Dallas is one of the few officials in the the Hall of
Fame. I remember him at a George Tolliver camp back in 89 or 90. What
a great person.
As far as stopping the clock...... north of the Mason Dixon line it is pretty
much standard. Down in Dixie, all of the NBA wannabees will just point !!!!!
