6 feet. Why do I see officials throwing their arms out to their side instead of counting 5 seconds? Am I missing something here? I understand why they are putting their arms out, but I don't understand why they don't just start the 5 second count. Within 6 feet. That's all it takes.

It doesn't take a yardstick to estimate 6 feet. It seems lots of officials can't estimate this distance.

For those of you who want to have something measurable, just remember that the radii of the FT circle and the jump ball circle are both 6'.

As others have said, it's not an approved mechanic in FED, but is an approved mechanic in NCAA. |

If I'm at 4 seconds and the guy backs out to loose the count I might show it real quick to show "hey he lost it"
Also - If a coach is like "5 seconds, 5 seconds" I'll generally shake my head no to show that they're not within the 6` for the count. 6` is a lot of room... If your standing 6` infront of an oppononet not playing defense. Yeah, your not gunna get the count.

I utilize the "un-mechanic" in a tight game. I know it isn't correct, but many coaches appreciate seeing that you are working/watching everything.
My 6 feet is definately 6 feet and I have been commended on calling it the way it is stated. Many coaches want you to call 5 seconds more...........as long as you are consistant from the beginning through the end of the game. |

It is a NCAA Men's/Women's mechanic that tells the coach that the official recognizes the fact that there is not a closely guarded situation. I think it is a stupid mechanic. If I am not visually signaling a closely guarded count then it should be obvious that a closely guarded situation does not exsist. MTD, Sr.
