I'm not sure how to resolve the "check the clock" stoppage either, but I'd be surprised if that scenario isn't at least revisited by the rules committee. It was a major advantage to Arizona last night.

It is a judgment call by the officials whether or not they need to go to the monitor. I don't see what the rules committee can do to legislate judgment.
