For everyone who said they would have a count going even though there was no way to have a 10-sec violation, I say you are doing too much.

If you are doing to know how much time is going off the clock then you are not concentrating on the important things like:
1) fouls by the defender
2) illegal dribble
3) illegal screens to get the dribble open
4) etc.

Futhermore, by counting YOU are anticipating when YOU think the horn is going to go off. What happens if you get to 8 seconds and the horn has not gone off? As in stopping the clock there can be fractions of a second of lag time of when YOU chop the clock and the timer turns the clock on. In this case there is 7.4 seconds, so up to .3-.5 second delay could occur.

If you have given the scorer and timer a good pre-game, then they know what there duties are during a situation such as this, so let them do the job.

YOU have enough to worrry about on the court.

I agree that the ball goes back to the endline and you start with the same amount of time on the clock.
