In a jr hi game I played in, many a yr ago, I got called for a 10 second count by a ref who was not visibly counting -- who called it as I released the ball. Most folks, including my coach, thought it could not have been more than 7 or 8 secs (I'm not even sure I knew there was a 10 second rule at the time and it didn't feel like I took significantly more time than usual) -- looked like the ref thought: oh no, I haven't been counting, seems like a long time, tweet. (Coach got 2 Ts on that one, back in the days that it took three for an ejection . . . .)
