LMAO, I thought this forum, as a whole, was not to be turned political??

All that would have to be done is show the stopwatch function on the iPod before the game.

In the situation here where we have the shot clock for both men & women as well as the game clock, there might be no other choice but to use the stopwatch function on the iPod/iPhone, if due to technical difficulties the scoreboard is non-operational.

As I stated in an earlier post, I am thinking of using the iPod as a TO Timer for 1-2 games as a test. However I won't make that decision until game time.

Going OT: Apparently the Harlem Globetrotters are doing a penalty box & 4-pt. shot for the 2011 World Tour.

If you get an official who does so, you can always appeal to him by saying you're using it as a timing device for timeouts, but be prepared to use your watch.

It's not just the phone that can be distracting, and I don't know the scorer from Adam, so how am I supposed to know whether he plays games or surfs the internet in his spare time? I don't, so I'd be less likely to be flexible on this.

Even in a lower level game, there's bound to be someone in the gym with a wrist watch. If not, I've worked my share of games where the timer didn't have a stop watch and would prefer that to a distracted timer.
