The Precision Time system created more than two decades ago by former referee Mike Costabile currently is used at nearly every level of the sport, including the NBA and college basketball's NCAA Tournament. Costabile estimates the ability to stop the clock automatically on a referee's whistle can save roughly 90 seconds formerly lost to reaction time when timekeepers manually stopped the clock.

FILE - In this Jan. 22, 2019, file photo, Michigan forward Isaiah Livers (4) attempts a 3-point basket during the second half of the team's NCAA college basketball game against Minnesota in Ann Arbor, Mich. As a freshman last season, Livers shot 36 percent from 3-point range. Decent, but not great. In the offseason, he went to work. “I was shooting at like 37 to 40 on the angle, and that’s not good,” Livers said. “Now I’m at probably 45 to 48.” Livers was referring to the arc on his shots, an area he’s tried to improve using an innovative system from the data-service provider Noah Basketball. This season, Livers is shooting 45 percent from 3-point range, the top mark in the Big Ten. (AP Photo/Tony Ding, File)
