He needs to meet the guy I saw last night. I didn't have a game so I went and watch my daughter cheer at a varsity game with my wife. About midway through the second quarter my wife asked how long they had to bring the ball past midcourt. I told her, and said you could tell if they were getting close to a violation by watching the officials count. A few minutes later she mentions he is counting slow. OK...maybe I do to at times.

During the second half my wife watched the clock and I watched him on two trips up the floor. The clock ticked off 10 seconds and he was at 5 once and 4 the second time. Glad he's not timing my work day
