Summer camps, summer league games, and other out-of-season games are the perfect time to work on mechanical changes that you deem necessary. Your :10 counts; increasing your game awarness (AP, bonus, player foul count,etc.); and officiating with your off-hand (foul signal, table reporting, OOB directions, etc.) are all perfect examples of what you should use this time for.

While I use the shot clock/game clock as a basis, I will always use my personal count to determine if a violation has occurred. If I get into a game situation that, based on the clock, seems to warrant a :10 violation - then I'm simply working on my "communication skills w/ the coach"....better to have it happen and learn how to deal with it in the summer than in the biggest game of the season.
