If I'm the Trail, I'm most likely starting my count (zero) when the defender's left foot crosses the blue volleyball attack line at 13.4. The ball handler picks up is dribble at 5.1. Easy five second closely guarded violation. Not even close.
Giving the Trail official in the video the benefit of any doubt, I could understand the Trail in the video possibly starting his count (zero) as late as when the defender's right foot crosses the blue volleyball sideline at 10.1. With the ball handler picking up his dribble at 5.1, exactly five seconds, maybe a toss up in his mind? I could live with that no call.
But he doesn't even do that. His first visible count is at 9.3, so he started his count (zero) at 8.3 (1.8 seconds later than I could accept; 5.1 seconds after I would have started my count).

Agree.
Of greater concern to me is that the Trail the stops his count (as indicated by changing arms) sometime before 6.7.
Why?
