For example, in Friday's Yale/UCONN game, a last second field goal occurred, the clock ran for an extra 1.6 seconds following the goal at 1.8 seconds. I didn't realize it was that difficult to push a button. This necessitates a courtside monitor review, delaying the game. We see this every year in the NCAA tournament. You rarely see this with NBA clock operators. Why does the NCAA and individual conferences have such a difficult time evaluating clock operators?
