Clock didn't start on a last Second Shot

The OP stated that the clock operator had become a known liability by the end of the game.

Soooo....I completely agree with the idea of a manual count in the closing seconds of a game like this. That's good preventive officiating. Make it a visible count so that you could later defend your action/decision to an assignor, coach, etc. The first thing they always check is the video.
