On the timeout question I did look at the rule book and saw nothing on my question unless I'm missing something.

The home team provides a shot clock operator. This person is in control of the shot clock.

Thanks! Even though a shot clock operator might be "resetting" the shot clock when the ball hits the rim, would the shot clock still stop/start in sync with the official's who are keeping the time? Or is it totally separately operated?

I don't know what they use in every arena, but in most (newer) systems the shot clock cannot run when the game clock is not running. Wehn schools I go to have a system where the shot clock is entirely independedt of the game clock, there are more issues.

The shot clock will stop with the stop of the game clock and restart with the press of the button. The shot clock operator has a toggle switch that stays on but with the press and hold of the reset button, the shot clock is paused until it starts up again.
