Huh? Can you elaborate on this a bit?

NFHS - team A gains control in their backcourt with 20 seconds remaining in the period. When 8 seconds shows on the clock, you call a 10 second violation. In this situation, you don't reset the clock to 10 seconds.

NBA - same situation, but you call an 8 second violation when 10.0 shows on the clock. Here, you would reset the clock to 12.0.

That's because in the NBA, 8 seconds means 8 seconds.

In our Fed games, 10 seconds means that the official incremented his count 10 times, which could be anywhere from 9s to 12s (in most cases).

Not quite true. If the dribbler was a member of the first or second all-star team, they get 10 seconds.

You mean minutes, don't you?
