My question is, when people are on your crew and doing this, and your professional image is at stake, how do you handle it when people start to really take note on how slow the clock stops?
The timer is a member of the officiating staff. Deal with the issue by correcting the clock. After at most two fixes, he should consider it a memo to himself.
