Which is basically what you said, with some rules citations added.

Great minds and all that.....

Yes it would be close but it would not be definite. Would it?

Just my take.

By that logic I guess you have never called the 3, 5, or 10 second violations ever.

If you have, then why, because your count was innaccurate and you did not have definite knowledge that a violation had occurred. It would only be a guess and therefore you cheated the team you calledit on.

Or course you could be calling these timing violations by looking at the clock but admitting that would still get you in hot water with us on this forum.
