If the man is going to work the clock, no one is going to stop him from checking it out and seeing how it works. You know it, I know, and everybody here knows it. So please don't bore us with all this other nonsense.
A good suggestion then would be to do a dry run before the shootarounds/pregame starts. Set the clock for like 10 secs. & run it down from there & do a quick stop clock as the horn sounds & see what happens.

You mean like checking it out and seeing how it works. What a wonderful idea.

IOW getting there to the game site far enough in advance that if you do not know the controls you can play around with them.

Before the pregame countdown starts, if that is possble.

Like I was saying earlier, letting the clock run down to :00.0 for pregame cannot always be done, as it depends on how game management wants things done.
