This is why your count should be the only count. If you look in the rulebook (which we are supposed to use) and mechanics books, you still give a visual count in these situations. I do not care what the coach says, my count is what matters and that is what I would tell them. I cannot speak for this level of basketball and the people that work them. I can tell you from my lower level college experience we have people that start the clock improperly all the time. So if I go by the shot clock alone, I might find myself in a lot of trouble.
