Okay, did anyone else originally see this thread and think it was about someone seeing a game where Tim Higgins was wearing pants - with a belt?

yes.

Actually it's a system that can plug into the scoring system of most major arenas. I know here in WV our HS activities commission has their own system they use for the state tournament here in Charleston. When WVU and Marshall play, they also bring theirs. It's basically a receiver that plugs into the board somehow and there are like 6 transmitters. It doesn't negate the clock operator because when I have used them they CAN mess up - so usually the clock operators still start and stop as a manual back-up. While I thought it was cool the first time I used it - I also think it's a pain in the butt to have to start the clock with it. I've only used it a few times - hopefully, I'd get used to it!

Anyway, it's not the clock system that has the technology so much as it's the site having the system to add to their existing scoring system.

I've only used this system 3 times (about 2 years ago), and all 3 times we only stopped the clock. The regular clock operator started it.
