When there's matchup activity that needs to be monitored, I'm willing to give up clock management for a moment if I can't look away.

This year, I've made it a priority to glance at the clock, and I've done pretty well; but I also think any time we have multiple and (sometimes) competing responsibilities, we have to prioritize.
So in this situation when you notice the clock hasn't started, you would blow the play dead, and then (in this situation) go to the AP because I assume it was still a loose ball, right?

And just curious, how long do you go before you whistle the play dead? 1 sec. 5 sec? Does it matter how far along in the game you are? Just curious about others' opinions.
