10 Second Violation

[Texas Aggie]

Call a 10 second violation when only 8 or 9 seconds have elapsed off the clock - try to explain that one!

Easy. The clock didn't start properly.

I'm not going to call 10 seconds unless they gain an advantage by being back there that long. In other words, if they've released a pass for the front court or are moving past the division line, my count pretty much stops. So, if, in theory, the clock did start properly and only 9 seconds go off the clock when I blow, they are probably around the free throw line extended hung up.
