Game Scenario for Discussion

I remember Joey Crawford interrupting Durant's FT to yell at the table to correct something, but that is very rare (and probably not how it should be done).

The only time I see officials (at the NBA level) get together before a correction to the clock is if there is some doubt as to how much time to put back on the clock.

Otherwise, if you see some error like the shot clock or the clock not starting, the official that notices it isn't going to waste his time going to the CC before to correct the timing mistake...he does that, and it looks like he has to get permission from Mr. Crew Chief to fix a simple mistake.

i guess that was an incorrect perception on my part based on TV coverage (i watch a lot more on TV than I see in person). Although I don't know if the NBA has similar language as NFHS does either.
