I have to credit finding the story to redsarmy.com, but it is an interesting read. Thought others may be interested.

I agree with redsarmy(whoever posts for them) that time/scorekeepers should be employed by the NBA and not individual teams. I can't count how many times I have been sitting on the edge of the couch screaming at the TV about a clock starting late...makes you wonder.

Time keepers are not employed by the home team any longer, there is some attempt to make them impartial and as long it isn't fouls then the score keeping doesn't impact the outcome. Now my fantasy team that is another issue.

That is very interesting. I used to bet on props like "rondo's points+assists will be over 20". This kind of crap can sway a lot of money.
