1. Accuracy - Sometimes it doesn't stop/start the clock properly.
1a. Different systems, NBA vs. NCAA - The NBA systems use two microphones while NCAA systems use one, which can affect accuracy.
2. Dependency - Officials don't pay as much attention to the clock as they should when PTS is used because they think it will work properly all the time.
