I was administering free throws to a yong man this weekend and my partner was counting, when the coach of the young man shooting actually yelled, "hurry up, you only have 10 seconds". He was right, the count was getting long. But talk about unnerving.....clank! I think the next shot left the boys hand a milisecond after I bounced it to him!
No issues there.
I've never called it. I guess for me it would get kinda awkward if my partner is counting and gets to t....e...n, e....le....ven, t...w...elve, and one of our "gym helpers" starts yelling - "ten seconds." Ya know, kinda like when they yell "three seconds"......I know never to listen to em, but in this case they may be blatanlty right for all to see......and hear......and we are thi...rteen..... Hope it never comes up!!
