Ladies and gentlemen, this is not about using advanced mechanics. It is about using CORRECT mechanics and why good officials use CORRECT mechanics: COMMUNICATION. Read my posting of yesterday. In structural engineering there are design codes that I and my fellow structural engineers must following in designing structures so that these structures are safe for the public to use. Basketball rules and mechanics serve the same purpose in the game of basketball. Not stopping the clock is just plain laziness, and believe me officiating in not nearly as complicated as structural engineering.

I agree the issue isn't "advanced" mechanics (I'm
kinda sorry now that I used that term to begin with).
As you say it's communication. But I don't think
not stopping the clock is laziness at the college level.
It's expected/required/cool. Not at all the case in HS.
