I always do my five second inbounds count with my hand closest to the thrower and chop the clock with my outside hand. This usually means I do the 10 second count with my outside hand, assuming we're inbounding on the baseline. This makes me switch hands when switching counts.
I start a closely guarded count with one hand and always switch when the player picks up the dribble or starts the dribble.
I've gotten to be ambidextrous on everything except fouls. I can count with either hand, chop the clock with either hand, and stop the clock with an open hand with either hand, but for some reason I can only use my right arm for fouls. I'm going to make it a point the rest of the season to start using my left arm for fouls also.
