If it is the latter, the clock operator must know if there will be FTs or not in order to know whether the clock will stop or not. At a minimum, they must wait until the official indicates who the foul is on and if there will be FTs. Sure, it is not really that big of a deal, but it isn't "that simple".

Why stop it during free throws? Kind of defeats the purpose of the turbo clock. Ours runs if there is a 30 point lead in the 4th quarter and goes back to the regular clock if the lead goes under 30. It only stops for timeouts or injuries.

There's all sorts of questions that can be asked about the use of a running clock. Depending on the rules being used, that is. Different State Associations, rec organizations, etc. have different rules/regulations so what may be good for the goose, isn't for the gander.

At the point the official reports a foul to the table and indicates free throws will be attempted, the clock stops. As to why they added that rule - I have no idea. As the Light Brigade once learned, "Ours is not to wonder why..." |

Personally, I'd prefer to see it run through the FTs....FTs sometimes make up the largest component of stop-clock time. Simple violations (OOB, traveling, etc.) just don't take that much time. And yes, I thoroughly analyze everything. That is why I rarely mess up a rule on the court. On more than a few occasions, I have had partners who think they are too good to study the rules think I've missed something and make an AT&T call in front of me....only to be the wrong call (not judgement, but simply the wrong call). There is little I dislike more than a hot-shot referee that makes up their own rules because they don't know the real ones.
