Can this be changed?

[Brian Watson]

I always keep a coin, chapstick, extra whistle, etc. with me during games to avoid just this type of situation. During the summer I use a rubber band on my wrist (look mom, no pockets), and I think it is most vital during the summer. You never know who or how young the person on the clock will be, and bottom line, a little preventive officiating makes a long hot night go a little easier..
