My experience has been that some shot clock operators reset the clock when they shouldn't, such as when there's a held ball and Team A has the arrow.

Sometimes they don't reset it quickly enough when there's a change of possession, they don't reset it when the ball hits the rim or they even reset when the ball goes OOB.

The errors happen a lot more often than once or twice a season.

Fixed it for ya, Rock-O. Happy now?

Your ex Wimmens supervisor told me you were quite touchy like this, btw. A fatal personality flaw, in her opinion.

When I do shot clock, I am always watching the ball very closely & in case on AP/OOB I pay close attention to the floor officials as to who will get the ball.

The once/twice is on average, for having to do resets due to errors.

Not every school has an eagle-eyed shot clock operator though.

I'm not doubting you, but that makes you better than many of the JuCo / D-3 / NAIA tables around here.

Nike is overrated unless you support UO athletics.

Sorry only tree huggers I know of are enviromentalists & pot only gives a person more reason to eat hence why the obesity problem in the nation.

The obesity problem is starting with children; are you suggesting elementary school kids are smoking so much pot they can't stop eating?

No I wasn't suggesting that.

Part of the problem is the cut of Physical Education programs. Also blame PS3, XBOX & Wii for the childhood obesity.

The Obesity & Pot smoking was a joke as have had neighbors smoke & thanks to them had a bad case of munchies

Ahhhh, I see from your profile that you are from Connecticut. That explains a lot.

I've been to CT. and got the he!! out of there as soon as I could. You ever been to Washington?

Didn't think so. Ignorance is so unbecoming on most people - but expected of people from CT.

I would pay good money to watch you have a sit down with her! We could put it on PPV and make a fortune. Beat the heck out of any of the other "reality" tv that's out there!
