Shot Clock Responsibility
It should be a primary responsibility of the Trail official to be aware of the shot clock
The Trail should try to look at the shot clock occasionally during the entire offensive possession, especially as the
possession continues for an extended period of time. This will allow the official to be prepared to rule on a possible
violation, incorrect reset or the horn goes off during or before a shot is taken
It would be efficient game management if the lead also makes themself aware of the shot clock during a possession

Timekeeper
Participate in pregame meeting with referee
Be attentive, accurate, and maintain focus during entire game; avoid distractions
Maintain eye contact with the official putting the ball in play
Maintain an appearance of impartiallity throughout the game
