Our clock operator does not care for the rule. Not because of any affect on him, he just hates to see rules that try to make high school ball closer to the NCAA. He has an old fashion view of the way HS ball should be, and I can't say that I disagree with his views.
We didn't have a delay of game penalty called at our game, and I never saw it even come close. Dinwiddie and GW both play an up-tempo game anyway, so it was a non factor.
Poor clock operator was vilified by the "unknowing" audience all game, though. The scoreboard is wirelessly controlled and something was seriously interfering with it. They had to stop the game several times and correct the time. I think I know what the problem is, but I'm not sure what I can do to fix it. We had a high speed modem installed in the press box, and I'm afraid that is creating the interference.
I assume that the game you called had a 40/25 second clock in the end zones?
Are any of you officials controlling the on-field 40/25 second clock on the field with a wireless remote?
Thanks White Hat, I always appreciate your comments.
