Now you guys have got me totally confused, which, by the way, really isn't much of an accomplishment.
I have always started my ten second count when an offensive player gets control of the ball in the backcourt. I did not start my count if a player simply touched the inbounds pass without gaining player control.
I did, however, continue my ten second count when an offensive player, in the backcourt, initially gained player control (see above paragraph) and then that player, or another offensive player, lost player control, but with his team still in team control.
What am I getting wrong here? Have I actually been doing this wrong for over thirty years?
