AND with the 5 or 10 second count, I try to move my arm a little slower than a second per movement.


Now this one I really do not like. The rules require 5 seconds (not 6 1/2) for an inbounds. It requires 10 seconds (not 13) to advance the ball into the front court. Why would you punish the defense by making it harder for them to force a turnover? We are supposed to be impartial. That is showing favoritism to the offense!!!!!

I guess I was one of those nasty in your face defenders when I was younger. I appreciate hustling defense. Thats why I try to calibrate my visible count when I am coming up court by synchronizing my arm to the clock. Thats why I try to never miss a closely guarded count.
