We can't do this during the game, of course, but go to the end of the play. The count should stop at about 5 seconds (+/- .2). Rewind the tape to 10 seconds -- the player is closely guarded here (and for at least a bit before this). So, a violation. I do agree it's hard to measure in the video -- we have some reasonable east-west measurements, but the play is often on an angle, and the north-south measurements are off (at least on my monitor) -- the center circle is an oval, for example
