I force myself to look at the clock when TC starts in back court to know the time and to help with my count. When there is no pressure, I use the change in seconds with my peripheral vision to coordinate my arm swing to keep an accurate time. When the individual is guarded, my focus is on the action but my count has become more accurate.
By knowing the time on the clock at the beginning of the possession, the coach has little argument about a quick count when I say, "Coach you gained possession at 5:46 and I blew my whistle at 5:35. That's 10 seconds."
With our short court, I rarely have 10-second violations (only 40' from division line to each end line).
