Coach counting

[Rich]

I would not allow it unless it matched my visible count. On a 3-second count if that team's on defense I'm putting a stop to it immediately.

Had a coach in a summer league game who complained about 3-seconds during a time-out. On the immediate next live ball he started counting out loud. I whacked him.

Yup. Same thing for me in a varsity game about 5 years back. I whacked him when he hit 3 -- gave him something else to complain about.

I'm not allowing it even if it matches my visible count. Too much room for shenanigans. Then again, you could always just allow it and call the T when the shenanigans ensue.
