If a home scorer hits a timer as a visiting player is shooting a free throw, there's no question I'm going to allow another throw. I'm not entirely certain I'd give the same latitude to a home player -- depends on the situation.

Same as if the timer is a bit slow stopping the clock -- I'm likely going to look at it a bit more carefully if the home timer does something marginal that disadvantages the visiting team.

They're supposed to be part of the officiating crew, but in most cases they are hired by the home team and in their hearts are not a neutral party.
