And ya know what, so would Chuck, regardless of what he says here.

I really don't think I would. If you're gonna stand in the lane and do 50 headfakes, you're gonna get a whistle. That's always the way I've been taught, and I really believe it. I'm not just arguing for the sake of it. You don't get 7 seconds (2+ in the lane, and then 5 closely-guarded) instead of 3 just b/c you're working on your head-fake.

I'm not even sure I see the original play consuming 5 seconds, but now you've got it up to 7, and the poor SOB has acquired tuorettes, 50 headfakes in that 5 seconds (that's 2 headfakes per second for you math illiterates out there). A1 is guilty of 1, maybe 2 headfakes on his journey from the FT line to the basket.
C'mon Chuck, this aint rocket science. If A1's making progress and/or trying to get a shot off then he can stay in there forever. If he passes out & stays in call it.
