Despite the “accuracy” of using an actual clock I am having trouble visualizing how I could have good vision of the players, the division line, and the shot clock. 99% of the time a 10 second violation is possible, there is considerable pressure in the BC. I don’t want to have to move my eyes off the action to the clock at the other end of the court.

An issue with this was brought up by an NCAAW interpreter in my area. On throw-ins the shot clock starts when the ball is legally touched by or touches a player inbounds (NCAA 2-11-5). Under the ten-second rule for NCAAM, the count begins when a player is in control in his backcourt (NCAA 9-10). So...if the throw-in touches B1 first and then the ball rolls around on the court the shot clock runs but there's no ten-second count since there's no player control by the offense. This scenario renders the idea of using the shot clock to accurately count the 10 seconds useless.
