Sorry, late to the party.

ilyazhito:

In Maryland, when does one, by rule, start the ten second visual count, touch, or control?

If control, do coaches and fans react negatively to differences between shot clock numbers and ten second counts (if they exist)?

In MD, the 10-second count starts on control, because it is a visible count. I would prefer that it be non-visible and on the touch, but it is the way it is (unless MPSSAA decides to change the rule).

Most fans and coaches probably aren't cognizant enough to know the reason for the difference, and could get upset when their team's archrival isn't whistled for a ten second violation at 25 seconds on the shot clock.
