HS game, 1967, we wore high socks, with our school colors at the top. I was at the free throw line to shoot 2, and after the Trail handed me the ball, I noticed that one of my socks had fallen down . So, I handed him the ball, and raised my sock. He then gave me the ball, and as I was about to shoot, he whistled me for the 10-second violation. I asked him why, and he then told me what the rule was . . . I did make the second shot . . .

What do you say, without losing credibility, to a coach who is watching you and counting with your visible count? I don't think "I lost my place" or "I have difficulty counting to 10" is going to help your game.

This was called in the NBA not that long ago.
My first year I had a partner call a 5 second free throw violation. Thankfully he was open to correction from the new guy.

Wow, APG, that was a long time! I've never seen anyone, at any level, come close to what Howard did. Yikes!

I have to admit, it's usually about 3 seconds before I even start counting. If I get to ten, then, I'm calling it.
Howard had it between 14 and 15 seconds and didn't look to be close to shooting.

I like the "follow-up" technical on Howard too.
