I would like to know everyone's opinion on the visual count time length. I have seen officials that count extremely slow in the back court but normal during a throw-in or closely guarded. There are also officials that count extremely slow at all times. I worked on getting my count perfectly timed with a second and it showed in the end of a couple of games where I whistled a ten second violation and 10.5 had come off the clock. My problem is that as a crew we should have a consistent count between the three of us. Lately I've slowed my count down because more experienced officials where counting slower. If the rule is ten seconds should we not be working to call a violation in 10-11 seconds? When I've received game film from past games my count looks extremely fast but I know that it is very close to being accurate.
Any suggestions or should I just continue counting at my current pace?
