Methinks you were watching an NIT game.

Tjones - any idea on why the licensing is approved for the NIT but not the NCAA D-I tourney?

Mark,

Not sure, it may be that the first rounds are usually played on one team's home court. Therefore, if they have the system they may be allowed it use it.

How do these things work? Is there like a priority mechanism that the official responsible for starting the clock has the primary, or can any official start the clock. Has there ever been times where the clock was accidentally started by an official. Also, with the remote technology, it is possible for somebody to jam the system. Just curious!
