A1 is being closely guarded by B1. The ref begins his 5 second count.

A) the ball bounces and A1 catches the ball after one bounce;
B) A1 catches the ball out of the air without moving the pivot foot.
The ref continues the 5 second closely guarded count in both cases.
If the ref correct?
This happened in a girls varsity game on Saturday I worked.

The other question is how are you sure that the official continued the count - did they call a 5-second violation? I have seen some officials who don't switch hands when they pick up a new count, they just pause for a count and keep counting with the same hand...personally I switch hands every time I start a new count so there is no question...not sure what the "correct" mechanic is on this, anyone?
