That's why the NBA uses the shot clock for the basckcourt call. NCAA ought to.
I think I would be counting but I would know what is on the shot clock anyway it hits 10, doesnt matter where my arm is at...What's the offensive coach going to yell I did not see your arm move back and forth 10 times, even though the scoreboard shows my team cant handle the press, we should not be penalized for it.... I think officials look stupid when the information is right in front of us but because our manual count is somehow better than the clock it goes away under the rules. I would bet most NCAA officials use the shot clock a lot more than any would care to admit.
I had a game where there was 55 seconds on the clock partner was trail, Ball came across at 43 seconds and coach was livid. Could we fix it nope! My partner had only got to nine and at half he could not figure outwhy coach was so upset. Partner had no clue what the time was..and his count was way slow.
