Ok-here's one for the NCAA guys? As a college student and a ref, I've had numerous opportunities to watch "good" D-1 officals in action when they call games at my school. So I'm watching our game last night in the gym, and I'm really there to observe the officals. Now 2 of the 3 were so slow with their visible counts coming up court, it was almost 3 seconds between each arm swing. Is this something done just to show everyone they are thinking about the 10-second count, even though they use the shot clock as their reference, or are they just slacking off. I've been taught to still count visibly every second, even if you're going to use the shot clock. Any experiences??
