Are we now advocating that it's part of our responsibility to babysit our partners? Unless the clock just happens to be in my peripheral vision, I see no need to make any undue effort to glance at the clock at this moment.

The responses above about being able to steal a quick glance at the clock all make perfect sense to me, but I feel I'm on the same page you are MD Longhorn. Sure, I could easily steal a glance at the clock, but why would it ever cross my mind as the lead to check the clock once I know it has started, we just inbounded, the trail has the ballhandler coming up the court, and I'm going to verify my trails 10 sec call?? I'm going to trust he can handle that one.
I see what everyones saying, it is certianly more than possible to do this, my view point is why would you...?
