How about 10 seconds to shoot a foul shot?
I called it once in a rec game a few years ago (only time I've ever seen it called). Early in the game some guy took like 13-14 seconds to shoot a foul shot. I "suggested" to him that on future foul shots he shoot within 10 seconds. Later, in the 2nd half, he has two shots. First shot, again a 13-14 second count (and I count slowly). Sure enough, on the next shot he does it again, so when I got to 10 I gave him the whistle.
Fast forward to an association meeting earlier this season and this rule came up. When our rules interpretor asked if anyone had ever seen it called, I said yes, I had called it once. He, and everyone else in the room for that matter, looked at me like I was from another planet. Come to think of it, maybe I am.
