Not trying to show my intellectual nature. Just saying, is all. I'm more of a "Wally" fan. He's my hero.

Wally is my hero, too. You are wise beyond my years.

Unlike the NFL, as long as coaches have a time out, he can protest

I've tried it, and timed other refs, and 10 seconds has usually elapsed by the time the ref got to 6 or 7.
That said, when a player gets called for a time violation, he usually deserves it.

In our clinic this year, one of my observers told me that I was counting way to fast for the 10-second count. We also video our sessions (mostly to look at positioning). Well, we counted and my count was always right on or a hair slow.......... I looked at my observer and suggested that he needed to speed up his count!

That was. . . um. . . bold. If your 10-second count on a free throw is exactly 10 seconds, then it is too fast.

Only time I've called this is in an intramural game with a running clock - even then, only once or twice.
