I'm as rules-based and anyone but I'm not going to get my shorts in a bunch if I'm the R and my U1/U2 makes a correction to the clock. If they saw the problem and have definite knowledge I'll more than likely tell them to make the correction. It won't hurt me to know why they're doing it but the other people out there are big boys/girls. They can explain to the coach(es) what they're doing. If they can't they shouldn't be out there to begin with. If they're not sure about whether the clock should be changed that's a different story.
Heck, one of my Rs in an NCAAW game this past season told me to make a shot-clock/game clock adjustment because I told him I knew how much time should have remained. It's a matter of trust.
