Speaking of visible counts...

In this case, I would think that consistency would be defined by everyone calling it when it is supposed to be called, everyone starting it when it is supposed to be started and everyone trying their best to hit five seconds as close as they can.

My arm is fully extended and "chops" at 0. If you count that as a swing, then I need 6 or 11 swings because.... well, I"m sure you can do the math.

PYRef -- I do it pretty consistently on a throw-in, and when there's close defense with any chance of a violation. When the ball is being passed fairly quickly from player to player, and the violation isn't likely, well, I don't like looking like a windmill.

You begin counting at 0? You really are a machine!

  0
  1
 10
 11
100
101

Edit: Beat instead of Bet. How embarassing to make that mistake. And Snaq had to go and quote the mistake. Argh!

for( int seconds = 0 ; seconds < 5 ; ++seconds )
swing_arm( FOR_1_SECOND );

if( throwin != released )

It's even more embarrassing to misspell embarrassing.
