I understand what you are implying; not to call a 10 second violation. Many officials have given me insight on what to call and what not to. For example, I blew a minor oob violation on a junior high 7th grade game along the end line after a made basket. Pressing wasn't even allowed (until after both teams 5th game) and there wasn't a defensive player within 20' of the inbounding player. These same officials have also told me not to call three seconds without first warning (at this level). My question with the ten seconds free throw count; would you call it at a varsity level or stall as you imply here. Are we not making these calls at the lower level as a means of instruction? I do let the players know, away from other players and not in front of the coach, when they are violating on these types of infractions. Again, I'm talking about JH and lower level games.
