OK, not really, but there are times when I have wanted to . . . like 5 second closely guarded count, 10 second backcourt count, etc.

I was at a rival schools game (NJCAA Women) and overheard a discussion between the HC and official.

HC was begging for 3 seconds and then the ref just came out and said "Coach, you might as well stop, since we don't call 3 seconds in college"

The violation was called however, later in the game, in favor of the opponent
