Timer's Duties:

1) Start the clock. Always.

2) Stop the clock. In a reasonable period of time.

3) Answer specific questions about whether a shot was released or a foul was committed before the expiration of time. When asked by the referee.

4) STFU. Always.

I had a hot mommy doing the scorebook at a local 7th/8th grade rec league. Her facial expressions were great. Big smiles when the fouls were on the other team and shaking head plus grimaces when they were on her son's team.

I know I should have said something, but the expressions were straight out of a well acted porno movie. The inner dog within me just enjoyed my scorekeeper.

I felt so ...dirty.

I always tell the timer before the game that if he forgets to start the clock, we'll yell at him, but if he forgets to stop it, we won't say anything.

If I forget to start the clock, then I'm asleep at the controls & shouldn't be there at that time. If I forget to stop the clock, it's gonna be fans & coaches yelling at me due to not being able to see &/or hear the whistle/signal to stop the clock.

Leave him alone, he's in the process of getting a clue. Hows he supposed to get a clue if he can't act clueless?

Wait. Yes, I can.

One time, I called a foul against the home team in a close game and the clock person gave me a "what the hell?" kind of look and dissented against me by waving his hand. I went over and quietly said "hey, don't do that to me again. You are part of the officiating crew and are supposed to be neutral. Keep your emotions and thoughts inside or I will have you removed and replaced by someone else." Didn't say a damn word to me for the rest of the game.

I've removed a score keeper and clock operator from seperate games before.....NEXT!

I have neither the time nor desire to deal with "issues" during the game. Give me folks who are impartial, can check their agendas/attitudes at the door and pay attention - that's all I ask.
