In NFHS, the clock starts when the ball is first touched inbounds by any player, but the 10 second count doesn't start until a player gains player control, so there could easily be a difference of several seconds. Coach may not like it, but it's easy to explain.
Want to know what's worse? Call a 10 second violation when only 8 or 9 seconds have elapsed off the clock - try to explain that one!
