"Lets everyone know to pay attention"?!?! Like I'm just standing around, picking my nose, checking out the cheerbabes; but when I see that "1 minute" signal, I'm suddenly going to pay attention to the game? ![]() JMHO

that's how i feel about it chuck, maybe a signal between everyone to make sure who knows who has the last shot, but if that is covered in the pre-game you don't need that either i guess! It's just good sometimes to make sure who really has it, so you don't have someone counting it and another waving it off!

Rag on it as much as you want, but these are all good mechanics. It's better to be safe than sorry. You all know at one point and time in your careers that you looked up at the clock and there was about 5 seconds or less on the clock and you had no idea. Another reason they use this mechanic mainly under 2 minutes in the 4th qtr. is because there can be certain things that happen under that time that are administered or enforced differently, i.e., substitutions and away from the play fouls.

And yes, I have absolutely been surprised to see only 5 seconds left in the game. But that was 10 years ago in a Saturday morning kiddie league. I realize that we discuss things in the closing minutes that we all already know. I realize that it's good to remind ourselves of things -- like the arrow and bonus situations or TO's remaining. But to me, the "1 minute" mechanic is superfluous. (The thing I was ragging on, BTW, was your rationale for using the mechanic; viz., that it tells everyone to pay attention.)
