Because we all know that the clock operator won't stop the clock until he sees an open hand, or a fist, or a held ball signal, right?

(IAABO (International) is on a big kick to always use the stop the clock signal, especially for an out of bounds violation. Our college guys have a tough time doing that. I've never had a problem with the stop the clock signal until last year when, for some reason, I started going directly to a back court signal without stopping the clock. I pride myself on good mechanics, and it embarrasses me, but it's a bad habit that I'm having trouble breaking. And it just started last year, seemingly out of nowhere.)

Is the clock operator deaf?

At one of the schools in our assignment area? Yes. And those hearing impaired kids can play some really good basketball.
