TWEET!! 10 seconds on the free throw line. The gym goes crazy and the teams head coach wants a explaination. Told him that the thrower has 10 seconds to shoot the ball. He requests a time out to look up the rule. There it was. He shuts up and doesn't say another word the rest of the game. My question, has anybody ever had a 10 second call on the free throw?

Yes, had it happen this past summer. In the first quarter, kid took me to 12. I couldn't believe it. First time ever and I didn't call it, but I made a note. Next time I got back to him, it was in the 4th quarter and the game on the line. He took me to 12 and I blasted him. My partner didn't like the call. Said I didn't understand the spirit of the rule. I told him that this guy took me to the limit in the 1st half and I just made sure on him afterwards. I'm sorry that the point in time in the game was critical, thems the breaks....
