Last-second shot coverage in transition

How do you guys handle when there is only 1 clock in one direction and trail has back to that clock?

I do not go by the clock. The rule is about the horn, not the clock (which if you look at many arenas, the clocks can be totally different by a tenth of a second or two). So why would we need to view the clock? And what are you going to do if you watch the clock and miss the play? We do not have replay, so we should not be looking at the clock to make a call.

Two options:

1) Have both (all) officials stand on the endline, facing the clock, with all the action on the playing court behind them.

2) Just officiate and use your ears -- just as we do when there are clocks at both ends, on both sides and above each backboard.
