Following a dead ball for any reason, the offense has a fresh 10 seconds to cross the line. NBA is different.
As to why coaches are not required to take a rules test: they're afraid. Besides, if there was a passing grade required, all the high schools would have to recruit new coaches every year.
Two weeks ago, I had a 10 year veteran coach yelling that old favorite "3 SECONDS!!!!!" as a series of shots went up. What a maroon!
