BTW: I am actually a college official (in a different sport) and know exactly how the rules are set. This was a discussion about what was right and wrong with the rules. Giving a team the benefit of an extra time out because of a human error that is simply the reaction time of a human is taking the human element out of the game. Why do we even employee a clock operator to work the clock, there is technology available to stop the clock when it needs to be stopped and start the clock when it needs to be started. Maybe we should just use that technology instead of having a human clock operator.
