You can have a 5 second count in womens NCAA because they dont have the 10 second call ( personally a stupid rule)

I just want to know how Bob counts to 4.99999 before he calls a violation. You got some precision timing thing I dont know about. I am luck I can count -- They invented the 10 second count for me. If it were any longer I would have to take my shoes off in the middle of the game!

My suggestion as a newer official. Learn to make a very visible, strong 5 second signal and be consistent. Know when it starts and start it. Dont let the coaches cajole or whine you into starting it

Change hands when you switch from the hold to dribble to hold.

See the Iraqi sun has not fried my brain too bad.
BTW our record 92 days of 100 plus temps ( hit 150 out thermometers could not go any higher) with at least 106 out of 109 day above 100...

Damn give me a heated contest between the two hottest cross town rivals in a packed Rupp arena over this!
