My limited experience is the reverse of this. The clock operator is the failsafe for the officials' pressing the PTS button on the pack. Especially important for close, end of game situations where teams may be delaying touching the throw-in to prevent the clock from starting. I don't want the table starting it when I'm 8 feet from the touch/no touch. - And that's covered in the locker room with the table crew.
