I am only a high school official but if the officials by rule have to stop the clock for .1 of a second to check the clock, then the rule is bogus.
If they stopped the clock on their own, then it is on them. When a team is out of timeouts, I think we have to do everything on in our power to not have a stoppage that is equivilent to a time out.
Could you image Thad Motta's response if Arizona would have hit a three after the stoppage?
