Timing system inventor: Blame NCAA for UNC finish

Posted Mar 24, 2014
The clock controversy at the end of Sunday’s game between UNC and Iowa State left the cell phone of Mike Costabile ringing at a steady clip. The inventor of the Precision Time System, used by basketball teams around the world, surely had to be the reason the Tar Heels ran out of seconds in a 85-83 loss to the Cyclones. Not his fault, he said adamantly. After all, if it’s not in use, it can’t be to blame. (Gaston Gazette)
