Duke/Clemson timing error

The clock appropriately stopped after the 2pt made basket with 5 seconds left and I'm guessing that the officials forgot to start their precision timers when the Clemson player caught the ball.

When using Precision Timing is it the officials or the table or both that are responsible for starting the clock after it has been stopped for a made basket?


On a side note that kid had some calm nerves to not expect the ball and then calmly knock down that 3!

I thought it was the officials (all 3) responsibility to make sure the clock has properly started and when they blow the whistle, it automatically stops.
