How about the play where A1 deflects the ball into the backcourt after team A had player possession in the front court? A2 and B1 race for it,B1 touches the ball first around the end line but B1 doesn't get possession.Then A2 and B1 scuffle around for it and A2 finally comes up with it near the endline. Team A could be 5-6 seconds into the 10 second count by then,right? And you haven't started a count- right? Quite an advantage for Team A,don't ya think?

Perhaps, but since it happens exactly 0% of the time, I'm not too concerned about it. Either B1 establishes control or the ball squirts OOB while they're "scuffling". Almost never does the scuffle last 5-6 -- without the defense establishing control -- with the result that A1 recovers the ball, and continues toward the frontcourt.

I must be cursed then. I've had that exact same play a coupla times.

Ah, you're not cursed. My statistics (or "satistics", as Dave Letterman would say) are just a little off. It actually happens 0.0000000000002% of the time.
