I posted this story once years ago:
I actually practice my count. Every other game, I flick my wrist with the timing of the clock counting down to game-time. I do it away from the view of anyone, just in case they think that I don't know how fast a second is.
Back when I was coaching, I had a tournament 6 hours away and my car radio was el-busto. Two of my players were passengers in my car because their parents were working. While they were sleeping, I would practice a 10-count. It's amazing how accurate you can get over a few hours.
