Jake,

I guess you need to re-read my post. My reply to Mark had nothing to do with the original post. I was replying to the comment below, which I interpreted as a 10 second count. Otherwise, he wouldn't even be discussing that the supervisor would want a 10 second count.

I understand that some college supervisors say to call the 10 second violation based solely on seeing "25" but I would not do that in this case.
Again, the answer that I posted came from NBA and former NCAA official Joe Forte. "Under NCAA rules, the 10 second count starts when the ball is touched inbounds, not when team control is established. They are instructed to use the shot clock in the NCAA and the NBA. "

And, if you too tell the coach that your count was at 9, then you and Mark won't be working if the conference supervisor wants to called by the shot clock.

Simplest explaination to me would be to say that the timeout was requested and granted before ten seconds were reached.
I said the same thing but Joe replied that it doesn't work that way. The shot clock is what works, not your count.
