Before the game, I always tell the clock operator that if he forgets to start the clock on time, we'll yell at him, but if he forgets to stop it, that's OK.

I had an inexperienced, nightmare of a clock operator the other night that was totally out to lunch (B12 parent). First quarter just wouldn't end.....until I noticed he was stopping the clock on every basket...... Then, sometimes he would forget to start it or "the button would stick." I had to remind him over and over again - "CLOCK!" "CLOCK!" He got it by the end, but it was a long, long night!
