Seriously, there's got to be some time limit. Ten seconds certainly seems fair. Why would a player need more than that? And if so, what would they need it for? It's just shooting a free throw. |
Of course.
However, I've never, NEVER seen this counted "straight," though, so it's never been a true ten-second violation. On top of that, many officials don't drop the signal to the table for number of shots until the player's had the ball for a bit.
It's never been something that's been counted or enforced aggressively, which is why most people haven't seen it more than once every 10 years.
