If this would be acceptable in a precise, and accurate, field such as analytical science, then I would think that most evaluators would be pleased if an official was able to get it somewhere between 9 and 11 seconds. That would be acceptable to me, especially if the trail official, in a two person game, had a lot of other things to watch. Eight seconds is kind of fast. Twelve seconds is kind of slow. Hitting it on the head at ten seconds, exactly, every single time up the court, seems like a lot to ask.
