I'm not saying they should never be called - Honestly? I've never even seen that called let alone called it myself. I do remember getting to 10 once and going back to 6 and the kid got the shot off before 10. I said something to the coach as I went by the next time and it wasn't a problem after that. I tend to give slow counts on 3-sec., 5-sec. inbounds and held ball, and 10 sec back court counts. I'm strict on the 5 and 10 sec. calls but I still count just a hair slow. On 3-sec. I tend to try to talk them out of the lane. If they won't listen, I'll bust 'em. Again, the FT violation is the one I've never seen called or called myself. Have you?
