10 seconds
Tonight, I had a boys high school varsity. The team was on the free throw line. I began to start my count to 10. I get to five, no shot. I get to 8, no shot. I get to 10 and still no shot. 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?

My daughter was called for a 10 second violation last year. She has a very long free throw routine and typically shoots just before the 10 seconds are up (actually, more than one official has given her a gift with a very slooooow count, she probably should be called for the violation more than she has). |

I have never called one but I have told players to speed it up after their first free throw was taking too long.
Here in Canada (New Brunswick), most of the games I officiate use FIBA rules which only give 5 seconds to shoot a free throw. You would think there would be more violations called, but I have only seen it 2 or 3 times in the past 6 years. Most officials will give the player a gentle reminder that they only have 5 seconds before their next attempt. I was working a National Championship last summer when a fellow official called a violation (5 seconds) on a free throw shooter. After the game, our supervisor walks into the dressing room laughing and says: "That's the first time I have seen that call in 30 years". |

I've never called it (in 25 years of games), nor have I been in a game where it was called.
If someone is tooooooo slooooowwww, I step up and tell them to shoot quicker. However, I could envision the situation where it might be necessary to call. Just pretty rare. |
