I told him I would have let the count started at 8 seconds. Call the 5 second violation and give the ball back to Red. So long as they got the ball away within the 5 second count, then no violation.
Any thoughts???

What about a T? Just curious if NF tradition allows for it. I'm sure that player would never do the same thing.
In FIBA the clock stops after every made basket in the last two minutes (fourth quarter or overtimes), so this behavior would be (almost) irrelevant.
