Late in the overtime, the talking heads were making a big deal about stopping play to check the time when neither team had a time out left. I can why the officials want to check and not be criticized later. Having said that, Michigan got the ball with 45.0 seconds left in the game. A shot clock violation occurred, do you really need to check the monitor? In the NBA, the officials would have told the operator to put 10.0 seconds on the clock, it would have taken 2 seconds to do so.
