10 seconds on an FT

[bigwhistle]

I did make this call one time years ago. It was in a summer league game. My count was at 15 when I finally gave up and blew the whistle. The coach gave me the "you've got to be kidding" look until I smiled and told him that I had already made it to 15. He then nodded and resumed doing nothing.

One of my regular V partners called it in a girls' V game. I wasn't there to see it. It is the one goofy thing I haven't had to call.

I would talk to the player and possibly to hs/her coach as well, that your FT count nears 10s when that player is shooting. Would I ever call it? Hmph. If they hit 15s perhaps. By then, I'm voicing to shoot the ball.
