Are you going to count it? Redo it? Or nullify the shot and walk off the floor? |

I always have a count at the end. |
I am with Jrut on this one.
1) I had definite knowledge that the clock did not start (it still read 8:00) 2) based on the scenario I know one second should have went off the clock. Ball was caught in bounds... (dribbled) and fouled. Of course I always check the clock starting, and normally count somehow until I see the clock start to get it right |

And to answer your question, my practice is the same as Kelvin and JRut. Especially in last second situations, you must make sure the clock starts; and if it doesn't, then you count. |
done arguing about who is in charge of What?
First off - on every in bound play, toss, or any time the ball is to become live and the clock should start, one or more persons on a crew should be checking to see that the clock starts, and in those games where used that the shot clock starts when proper possession is gained.
If the either clock does not start, you need to blow the play dead or get some sort of count going NOW. There are no do overs so in the original post they are wrong. If you let the play go on what ever happend counts you can not go back and do it over and you can not wipe out actions that took place durring that time period. The basic tenant here is that there are means by which to establish, that time ran off the clock and that a definate amount of time ran off the clock. Maybe not the correct amount but a definate amount, and the definate amount of time has to come off the clock. The other issue is that you need pre-game these situation big time and you discuss them during the game, if you have timing issues and at the end of the half and end of the game so that you are aware and prepared to handle the situation when it arrises - then is is a quick he says and he says and you adjust the clock with out a lot of problem. This is a Crew issue and you need to be on top of it. |
I would apply Padgetts rule: "yell at the time keeper for not starting the clock; if the timekeeper forgets to stop the clock, don't say a word" :D

First of all, I really don't have a beef with either stance here but there is my two measly cents on the issue...

---- In a situation where it is in the final few seconds, someone better have a count going. This weekend I had three (attempted) buzzer beaters. You bet your last dollar that I had a count going on all three. With 8 minutes left..ummm...I'm not worried about it. At least several tenths of a second roll off the close at every stoppage. Frankly, I don't have the ability to stop this from occurring unless I blow my whistle and immediately look at the clock. I have other things to do immediately after I blow my whistle, like watch the continuing action. The clock is taken care of with a quick glance (within a second or two) but it's not the first thing I do. -Josh |
