I have read through the rules and for the life of me i am not getting it.. Does the five second count end when the ball is thrown or legally touched ??
Also does the five second count count as part of the ten second count or once the ball is legally touched is there a brand new count ?
Hope this made sense .....

1. 5 second count ends when the ball is released towards the court for a throwin.
2. 10 second count begins when player control is established by a player in his or her backcourt. It does not legally end until the ball has established fc status.
So, from the time that the ball is released until it is secured, there is no count.
