How hard would it be to have the devices at all the games. I would think not too hard as these are major universities hosting the tournament. I would think that the officials have been using the devices all year, this may be the only games that they have not been used for some of the officials.

It goes deeper than that. Forever reason, the NCAA has chosen not to use it. If they can purchase floors and ship them to each Regional site, then they can certainly spend $50000 to have PTS at each site. For whatever reason, they chosen not to use. They haven't used it in years.

I have noticed some of the crews used mechanics similar to the NBA. The lead is counting, but not chopping the clock and the Trail is chopping the clock.
Also, I would be surprised if these officials used PTS in all their games this season no matter how "big time" they are.

I spoke to Mike about this issue two years ago.
This was when there were several timing issues during the previous tournament and then a few occurred that year too. He felt that they would finally come around and so did I. |

They haven't yet. Did he say why they weren't using it?

I was told by an NCAA Women's official that the NCAA questions it's reliability still because of "some specific instances during the regular seasons." I guess they feel there are still come bugs to be worked out with the system. He had not heard the exact situation(s) that let to this opinion though.

I've always wondered how these things work, could someone explain it to me?

Each official has a power pack on their waistband that has a button that you push to start the clock...the timer also starts the clock when you chopped the clock in. Each official also has a small microphone in their lanyard that is tuned into the Fox 40 whistle and when you blow the whistle the clock should stop. The timer continues to do their normal duties as a back up. Most officials that I work with really don't care for it at all (NCAAW).
