Because when I go to run and make a call it's just awkward.

Why are you running? Don’t you know that angle trumps distance? And, why haven’t you adopted that… sentiment… wherein we BUs no longer use A, and instead just stay at B for everything?

Colleges really can't out one more person in the press box to run the pitch clock?

Press box? What is this press box of which you speak? 

I’ve called NAIA and JuCo games (get real, D3 is the same boat 🛶) where the scorekeeper is at a table behind the chain-link backstop, and it’s a crapshoot as to if the scoreboard works or not.

I mentioned it to a coach who is getting a visible clock installed for the coming season and it literally never occurred to him.

That being said, I just got off a high school basketball court where they're employing a second clock operator to do the shot clock... It was a Sophmore game. Colleges really can't  DONT WANT TO (and ASSIGNORS WONT PUSH BACK) put one more person in the press box to run the pitch clock? Really?

FTFY
