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.
You can do the same with replay in all the games since one can fall back to going to replay at any point in the game to fix a timing mistake.
