This would be an example of an offical getting it wrong,and making it hard for the officials who get it right-like Tim Roden above.

Your version of the 5 second throw in rule was changed about 25 years ago,LDUB.Count now stops on release by thrower-in.You're right on the 10 second count going backcourt to frontcourt,though. Welcome to the board,btw.
