Disagree. This is like saying that it's the officials' fault if there are 6 players on the floor. Should we have checked it prior to putting the ball in play. Yes. Did we put 6 players on the floor? NO.

Same thing. When we check to make sure the clock is properly started, it would be nice if we also checked to make sure the shot clock didn't get reset. But we didn't reset it. That's a table error, quite obviously.

Additionally, there are gyms where it's actually pretty tough to check the shot clock. I worked a D3 game last night where the shot clocks were mounted on the wall WAYYYYY off to the side, almost even with the benches. If you're the official on that side of the court, there's no way to watch the play and check the shot clock.
