No, I'm putting up as much time as I know information about. I'm not guessing about anything. Looking at the clock is not the only way to know something. You can't call it guessing just because someone else can figure it out while you can't. I just know it....whether you can or not.
If you watch just a few games, it becomes clear that an overwhelming majority of HS officials counts are ridiculously slow. Most that I've observed are ~50% off or more. I'd bet that my sense of time at less than 1-2 seconds is more accurate (as a percentage) than the average official's count. That definite enough for me.
The whole point of the rule change was to not penalize a team when a foul clearly occurs before the horn but the clock doesn't stop. If don't or can't look at the clock or can't just know how much time should be there with your own faculties, that's not my problem.
