The other posters are correct. About five years ago the NFHS officials manual contained a statement that that are no do-overs in high school basketball. Timing errors occur and officials need to know the rules for how to deal with them.

If there are less than 10 seconds in the game do you even have a backcourt count?

FYI, I don't have one in those situations, but should I in case something like this happens?

You don't have a "backcourt" count, but you should have a count -- as should all officials near the end of every period.

So what would you do in that situation? A count like during a free throw. Just checking to see what would need to be done to have "definite knowledge".

I would count the same as closely-guarded. I would want it to be as visible as possible on any video.

I was thinking about video proof, which is why I thought of doing a count like during a free throw where I'll simply do the "flick of the hand" motion during a count down low. However, I see no harm in a more obvious count like you're saying.

Just curious about a visible count during a time you don't need one, or shouldn't have one. Like... what would an observer think of that?

I'm not saying it isn't the best solution, but I wouldn't want someone to think I had a closely guarded count when I did not.

I'm not sure the video matters. I just count.

I always do, for precisely this reason.

If there were only 3 seconds and you're already at 2, I would say it's better to wait one more second and say game over than to blow it dead at this point.

If A1 is about to shoot, I'm ok with that. If he's watching the clock, kill it and restart with 1 second.

In the op the team with the ball is ahead, so a potential shot is not a factor.

To my knowledge the closest thing to a "do over" in high school basketball is explained here:

6.4.5 Situation B:

During an alternating-possession throw-in, thrower A1 holds the ball through the end-line plane and B1 grabs it, resulting in a held ball.

RULING: Since the throw-in had not ended and no violation occurred, it is still A's ball for an alternating-possession throw-in. (4-42-5).

IMO a situation which looks like a do-over is an inadvertent whistle while a throw-in pass is in flight. Actually, anything which would warrant using POI in this situation.
