Great find Mark!

I worked all camera angles shooting hockey games and camera 1 (main camera) or 2 (close up) often grabbed the time from the scoreclock, but we never had a camera focused soley on the clock. Focusing on the clocks near the backboard allow for also seeing the red light and the shot clock, which could allow for "killing two birds withone stone".

For the electronic signal to travel further to issue a start command would take such a small amount of time, it isn't funny.

Which display does the timekeeper watch when a basket is scored near 1:00 left?

With the correct timing, one display could read 1:00 and the other, 0:59.9.

And is this affected by a player standing too far underneath the basket?

No, of course not.

But you can see a blind screen coming .1 of a second sooner.
