Point taken... and I (as well as the rest of the crowd) am not that guy. In this particular case, the team would dribble up until they were guarded, and then turn their back to the basket (to protect their dribble). And dribble, and dribble, and dribble. The one time we got to 12, it was probably a 5-second violation too, although we never once saw them counting a 5, no matter how closely guarded they were.
We do have good officials in the area doing MS games. It just seems that every 3-4 games or so, we get Joe Paycheck whose whistle only seems to work when the ball goes out of bounds, and who never, ever actually moves to the right position or shows any hustle.
