Clock doesn't start

Always have a count in the last 30 seconds or so of each period.

Especially when you looked and noticed the clock hadn't started.

I've had to end multiple quarters this way, although never twice in the same game. I always have a count at the end of a quarter.

About 4 years ago I started counting on everything in the final 10-20 seconds. i do it semi visibly like the free throw count.

I ended a game with a whistle that way recently. 1.2 on the clock for an inbound. It did not start. As I counted 2 after it was legally touched inbounds, I blew the whistle.
