Micro-chip whistle
Anyone seen the whistles now-a-days with the microchip in them that stops the clock immediately on the sound of the whistle? Honig's has them, but they require more hardware (and software?) by the venue hosting the contest. VERY interesting. I would bet it'll be standard equipment in a few years. Can't believe the NBA or NCAA hasn't progressed to this technology.

Not sure about the NBA but the NCAA has...

It would eliminate a lot of the above "what if's". There'd be little to no question about "time left on the clock" or "by the time you SAW the foul and then looked up, how much time was there?" Knaw mean? lol

No, but that's pretty cool. Would love to see the technology make it to the HS level, but, at least in these parts, I'm not sure we'll ever even see a shot clock mandated due to the cost. It would take a lot of guesswork out of the equation.

It's called PTS, used widely in college. Don't expect it soon in high school.

The NBA uses PTS for every game. Most of the major conferences use it as well but it isn't used for the NCAA tournament. By the way the technology is call precision time system.
