kudos for a coach and a question for the 3 person folks

I don't see what the difference is, in both cases you are judging if the shot was out of the shooters hand before the horn. If primary is good enough for 39.59.9 minutes why change the mechanic on end of a period/half or game? Just seems funny and strange to me.

Around here, we have T or C (whoever is opposite of table) take both the shot clock and last second game clock. Easy to remember, plus you don't have to worry about lockdown since a rotation doesn't change the person who has clock responsibility.
