Late Game Situation

So I'm curious: HS refs, do you make it a habit to look up at the clock on a whistle in the last 10 seconds so that you will have definite knowledge if the operator doesn't stop the clock?

Yes, if I can.

I also count down the last xx seconds in my head, glancing at the clock when the situation permits to "reset" the clock.

I make it a habit to look at the clock on every whistle....especially if I'm the off official.
