Final minute clock stoppage question

Should there be a fix -- like an automatic stoppage at 1:00 until the ball is inbounded. Could this be feasibly done?

Yes - the problem would be stopping at exactly one minute. Inevitably, you'd get 59.8 or 1:00.3 (the latter of which couldn't easily be seen) and you'd have to stop the game and have the timer reset the clock to exactly 60.0 seconds each time.

Easier to just let it run.
