You might have 10 pitches at an individual batter and over 300 in a game. To me that is not the same thing. Ten held balls in a game is not unusual and not hard to remember when you changed the last one. And you have a scorer that is supposed to be keeping track too. And even in baseball there are those that do not advocate or use indicators for pitches. I just think in basketball it is a bigger crutch and often a mistake is made by officials who are only relying on the device and not their memory or the scorer that is required to keep track of these things like other things in the game.
