That reminds me. I had a play last week. A1 is dribbling the ball in his frontcourt.

A1, with no defender anywhere near him, takes his sweet time going back to get the ball, finally picks up the ball deep in the backcourt, and starts a dribble to bring the ball back upcourt.
When did I start my ten second count? When A1 picked up the ball in the backcourt to start a new dribble. Immediately after I started the count I said to myself, "Self. Because of posts on the Forum you should know better than that". I was probably the only one in the gym who knew that I screwed up.
