re:
I had read in the BasketBall Officials guide book that if an inbounder asked you to give a verbal 5 second count you should not do this, because this gives the offensive team an advantage. There also could be a controversy as some officials start with zero, then one,then two, etc...thus giving them the full 5 seconds. If you start at one and count directly to 5 you realy are only giving them 4 seconds ie: 1) 1-2, 2) 2-3 3) 3-4 4)4-5. Whereas I tend to pause a second before starting and then start at one.
I was applying this same thinking to my question, but I guess it is different to tell the offensive player where you at in your count as opposed to counting out loud when asked. or do you guys disagree with the whole thing?
