In chatting with these officials (90 years total experience) it has only happened one time that a free thrower has violated on the 10 second count.

However, we still have to make a visual 10 second count on free throws. Do you really see a purpose to be doing this count, for a violation call that is seldom used.

Just curious and looking for discussion.

A. It is a rule so I'll do the count.

B. I would like to get home before the sun rises so I’ll do the count.

C. Know why your group has only called a violation on the free throe 10 second count one time? Because, it is one of the easiest violations to avoid, just shoot before the count gets to 10.
