5 second throw-in violations (called my share) are far more common than 10 second FT violation (never seen one let alone called one). I guess if the crowd counted down like they did on Karl Malones FTs it would call itself.


It was great, thanks JR!
Guess I'll be in the stands on Saturday, what would people think if I got that game 3 years in a row
