Quite intentional. At one point, he's sitting with his finger on the "stop" button, waiting as seconds count down and then presses it. Looks at me and states plainly that he likes to let a few seconds run off. He wouldn't do it with under a minute left, thanks to that tenths of a second getting people's attention, but he would do it before then during each quarter.

Sounds like he needs to go or get his a$$ ripped a new one.

We (the R and U especially) watch the clock closely and won't hesitate to put time back up or take it off when we know something's amiss. Two or three times should embarrass the guy into doing it right -- if not, the R should simply replace him.

I miss working in a place where an official would keep the clock somewhere on the sidelines. I really thought that was the best system.
