Precision timing

In another action, the committee was made aware of the upcoming use of Precision Timing and DVSport Technology by officiating crews during the 2015 championship.

Precision Timing is a mechanism that enables an official to start and stop the game clock automatically on the official's whistle.

The DVSport Replay system is based on a Touchscreen technology, allowing the replay official to view any available angle from any play at any time. These technologies will be used by championship game officials for the first time during the 2015 tournament.

“This meeting allowed us the opportunity to dig into details of various aspects of the championship, many of which are rapidly changing as we go forward,” said Dru Hancock, senior associate commissioner of the Big 12 Conference, who will become chair of the committee on Sept. 1. “We were also able to huddle up with representatives from ESPN and the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association to plan for the future. Our game continues to evolve and grow, and we are readying for a great 2014-15 season and championship.”

I've seen this claim before and I never did get an explanation of how they properly start the clock on the whistle.

Unless something has drastically changed, the clock started by the remote box with a button being pressed, not by the whistle being blown.
