And if I'm a coach who is watching and counting your arm "wags" I'm going to be slightly more than a little pi$$ed when you count 8 and call a 10-second violation.

Do you swing your arms 4 times on a five-second closely guarded call, too?

Rich,

A team gets 10 seconds to get the ball across and if I can use the clock for an accurate 10, then I am going to use it. If I can't grab the clock then they will get 10 arm wags. I don't kmow many coaches that are making major decisions on the number of arm wags that I have made. If the coach gets pissed, then he'll just have to get pissed.

I have not incorporated the clock on my closely guarded
counts. I'm not that good.
