Its connected to the game clock. Theres a trigger button that allows the referee to start the clock the moment the ball is put in play. On an inbound, you'll notice that the ref uses one hand to count 5 seconds/chop the clock in and the other hand is at their waist or back to flip the switch to start the game clock
also if you notice they wear a microphone on the shirt coller that plugs into the black box and the sound of the whistle will trigger the clock to stop..the button on the black box will start or stop the clock but whistle will only stop it.... Pause the video @ 0:44 seconds and you will see it.... i referee high school basketball and some of the bigger schools (6A) they have them

Kentucky hates this guy. He is a very good official. He calls fouls. Thank you sir.
Discbands Alternate Possession Wristbands are very helpful for officials. Be professional. Be right.
Why can't this fellow be in the NBA? It would be cool to see Higgins in the NBA one day, maybe even to work along with him.

His business is so he can launder money for his bribes or bets. Thanks to all the videos he has a record of shady games called.
