In twenty-seven years, I've probably called it about a half-dozen times. In most of these situations, I was probably already up to ten with my visible count, waited a short time to put air in my whistle to make sure that I didn't count too fast, expected an immediate dribble across the division line, or a quick, short pass across the division line, and instead got a long pass across the division line, so I blew the whistle. I'm willing to give the offensive team the benefit of the doubt, maybe I counted too fast, but at some point the defensive team has to be rewarded for great defense, so I'm not passing on a backcourt violation that's eleven, or almost twelve seconds, in real time, just because the ball is in the air.
