1. Not sure why there are two people chopping the clock

2. That player was purposely or deceitfully delaying his return? Matter of judgement obviously

In the end you work for you assignor, I know that my assignors would not like a technical ruled in that situation. Every assignor is different and if that is what your assignor wants issued in that situation well done.

That wasn't at all relevant to the discussion, but if this mechanic is in question . . .

And with that you should stop talking and just read.

I suggest you check your mechanics manual.

The purpose is so the table can see the clock being started. If the Lead makes a frontcourt throw-in from the endline, the table might not see the Lead's start-the-clock signal. This is why Trail mirrors the chop by Lead.

Conversely, if the teams are going backcourt to frontcourt, the new Trail is the only one who chops the clock, because the new Center has just finished administering substitutions (if there were any), and the new Lead has to get into his new position (Same for 2-person, minus the Center official).
