Visual Count Consistency

[JRutledge]

A technique I use to become as accurate with my counts as possible is to use the microwave timer. Just sit in front of the microwave and do your count along with the timer. At the very least you get an idea how fast you need to be or how much slower you need to go.

I also watch the clock briefly if I can to get an idea where I am in my count. I started doing this also when I started working college games to make sure the shot clock started properly. I really only do this when there is no pressure on the ball and I have a good angle at the clock from where I am standing.
