TWEET!! 10 seconds on the free throw line. The gym goes crazy and the teams head coach wants a explaination. Told him that the thrower has 10 seconds to shoot the ball. He requests a time out to look up the rule. There it was. He shuts up and doesn't say another word the rest of the game. My question, has anybody ever had a 10 second call on the free throw?

Had it once, 4 years ago.

First of two...I get to 11 and he shoots...wait a minute, did I miss something...something FT, I get to 11, I figure that's long enough...TWEET!....Coach, "I told ya somebody was gonna call it on you!"

Haven't seen it since.
