Honestly I was sick to my stomach after the kid's injury and my mind was definitely not focused on the clock. I made lots of notes at the time re time on clock, down and distance, hash, time the injury timeout started, etc so I could do the incident report and be able to set everything up again should we have a really long delay The one thing I did not even note was the clock.
In our defense on that one I think we did get something right late in the game that many crews might have missed. Not sure if you noticed, Team A (Team that was up) false started on 2d down (clock had been running). After the enforcement the B pointed at the game clock and that made me think this was an excellent time to invoke "referee's discretion" so chose not to start clock on the ready.
While I get it that everyone does the pointing, mamma taught me it was not polite to point.
Seriously though, have you ever wondered why you point? It may have made sense (and still does) when you are not mike'd. But when you are mike'd I don't think it really adds much to the process.
On the targetings, I was told the first one (which was a dead ball act) was so far away from the action that cameras did not even capture it. Were you able to see it? Have not seen the video yet. On the 2d, we are getting feedback both ways on it and can't wait to see it myself. Based on the information I was provided I felt it had to be waved off.
