You've never operated a clock, have you? The blame lies not with the operator (usually) but with the equipment. The operator is at the mercy of the quality of the electronics. There is usually a lag between "hitting the button" and the clock stopping. Generally, the older the equipment, the more inaccurate it is. Blame the schools (at whatever level) for not installing state of the art equipment.

By the way, I'm a UConn fan. The clock is not the reason they lost that game.
