A ten second five second count?
Spring league JV game. A1 scores. B1 goes to take the ball for the inbound. I'm counting. After about three seconds, B2 jumps OOB on the endline and B1 passes to him. He looks to inbound but his teammates are all covered. Two seconds goes by and I blow my whistle for the violation. I signal a five second violation and Coach B yells, "That's not right. They each get five seconds." I reply, "Unless they changed the rules last night while I was sleeping, that's not the case, coach."
After the game (which team A won by about 25) when I was at the table getting things set up for the next game, Coach B came over and asked me the one question that almost makes me puke, "Are you sure?" My reply was "What do you think, coach - we just make this up as we go along?"
He just looked at me for about five seconds then turned around and left.
