If you are a basketball fan, you know what a shot clock is. If not – it is that timer that starts when a team takes possession of the ball and counts down the seconds they have to “do something” or be forced to turn the ball over to the other team. For women’s basketball at the college level – the timer has 30 seconds. For the WNBA – it is 24 seconds. But the key thing is that the clock works. In actuality, there are multiples of the clock so that you (if on the court) can theoretically see it from either end of the court and either side.
What you can’t have is a discrepancy between the time shown of the different clocks. And there we were – the four clocks, irestarts of the clock and about 90 seconds into the game.
Oh, so not good.
They finally came up with a solution, but that first half took 90 minutes, many of them painful, to complete. Since the Valkyries managed to pull off their win, we all managed to survive.
Otherwise, I managed some more clean up, and 805 further stitches on the Red Panda.
