The only thing I've noticed about my counts is that the adrenalin of the game will sometimes speed up my count.
When I practice at home (I do), I am usually quite close to 10 seconds. Mostly between 10 and 11 seconds.
I did a game a couple of weeks ago that was quite frenatic with lots of pressure in the backcourt. I noticed that I was a little fast (by comparing to shot clock). I have since tried to remind myself that if the pace of the game picks up, my 10 second count must remain steady.
BTW. For those who use the shot clock, isn't it difficult to peek at the clock and observe the players? Considering 10 seconds calls are usually only an issue when there is pressure and lots of action around the dribbler. As for Chuck comment about the partner making that call, I have never seen the lead make a 10 second call in that situation. Then again, I haven't been officiating for a long time.
Salut, Jay.
