If my count is calibrated right, they should get about 10.5 seconds anyway. If I am visibly counting the inbounds pass with my right hand, that means I am chopping the clock with my left. I will then count the backcourt with my left hand. That will automatically give the offense approximately .5 second.
If I am administering the throw-in, I will not start my count until I back away from the thrower a step or two. That gives them about a .5 second too. Once I start my count, its 5 or 10 on the nose (or as close as I can get).
