Make sure you give the table a whistle so that you can hear them when time expires. Had this situation last week. Clock went out with 30 seconds to go. After a short attempt to get it working, we went with stopwatch. Gave them my spare whistle so they could signal us. Had a TO with 12 seconds left in the half. I was counting in my head and was well past the 12 seconds that was remaining, however, I didn't want to blow the play dead and have there be 1 or 2 seconds left. Sure enough, they made a basket and visiting coach goes balistic. Calmly went to the timer and asked if it was released before or after the shot. He said time expired before shot was released. Wiped the basket and when we came back after intermission, clock was working again.
