Is it ok to comment on someone who calls a clock while the hand isn't over?

[blkmoney12]

During the wsop main event there was a situation where a clock was called but it was a bit different. the players who where not in the hand said the the player should have called a clock on the other player. here is the hand in question https://youtu.be/SGgDdp10xBE. My question is is it appropriate too comment on if some should have called a clock when the hand is in progress.

Any player at the table can call a clock. I think the WSOP rules require you to wait 2 minutes before you call the clock, and the players at the table were questioning whether the 2 minutes had elapsed. You can never tell how much time passed by watching the edited highlight shows, but given that several players immediately said they didn't think enough time had elapsed, you have to wonder. Nobody keeps a clock until a clock is called for, so there is really no way to say for sure how much time had passed.

By the way, the Justin Schwartz guy is a total d-bag. So glad he got knocked out. You could tell he was starting to crack under the pressure. There is another hand later in the show where he does his usual C-bet after missing the flop only to see his opponent (Butteroni, I think it was) respond with a check-raise. Schwartz picks up his chips and just starts slamming them into each other and then folds.

Official rule:

78. Calling-for-clock: Once a reasonable amount of time, which is no less than two minutes, has passed and a clock is called, a participant will be given one (1) minute to act. If action has not been taken by the time the minute has expired, there will be a 10-second countdown followed by a declaration or stop-watch alarm. If a participant has not acted before the declaration or alarm sounds, the hand will be dead. Tournament Supervisors reserve the right to speed up the amount of time allotted for a clock if it appears that a participant is deliberately stalling. Any participant intentionally stalling the progress of the game will incur a penalty in accordance with Rules 39, 102 and 103.
