I just remember someone telling me there was a rule in the NBA that kind of reflects what this guy might be talking about. Then again I do not claim to be sure, just something I remember talking to someone about that I did not always realize.

Gotcha...you are correct that in the NBA, a team has eight seconds to get it across period unless a team is awarded a new count (T/personal foul on the defense, infection control, delay of game of the defense, kick/punch ball). I actually would like to see something similar to this in NCAA (no buying yourself outta a violation). But yeah, I would be interested in finding out if that was in fact true and what "privileges" a team would have lost.
