The author mentions the basketball shot call and how it's synchronized to play but doesn't mention that there ARE other clocks exactly like the football play clock - we just don't put them on the board. The refs count off seconds for inbounding and free throws and will award penalties when they go over. That's exactly how the play clock works. I also think more than likely many teams will take MORE time on early downs to guarantee a good play call, resulting in slower gameplay.
