I don't need you or any other timer to signal to me that there's less than 1 minute on the clock.

I do not need you interjecting yourself into the game beyond those responsibilities.

I believe I'll probably notice if the scoreboard stops working. We'll handle that if needed.

No, the shot clock buzzer sounds when that happens. We don't use a shot clock here.

You need to focus on the things the rule book requires you to do and stop worrying about these other things. Otherwise, you become a nightmare for the officials working the game.

Concerning the shot clock, I'm meaning the gym is so noisy that the buzzer cannot be heard.

I know it's not required for the PA Announcer to announce last minute in period/game.

As I have stated numerous times before, majority of the games I do are JV/C-Squad where the scorer is a student that seems to be there as a fan. So I have to go above & beyond what's required to ensure the game runs smoothly.

No, you simply base more importance on your position than necessary and interject yourself in the game where it's not needed. That's very apparent from your posts over the past year.

You would be better served following the instructions given to you and work to be the best you can be as a timer. If you want a more active role in the game, then became an official. Until such time as you choose to do that, run the clock appropriately, keep an accurate score, and use the horn when you're supposed to.
