Visible Count Mechanics

[refnrev]

[QUOTE=Fritz]... had a supervisor tell me that it looks stupid with my arm moving back and forth that fast and to switch to an out (1 second) and in (1 second) motion.

You're kidding right? A supervisor didn't really tell you that did he? You just made that up to start discussion, right? Please tell me he didn't really say that.

Nope, not making it up, really! Asked a couple of regular partners about it as well and they also roll their eyes at this guy. He is a new person in our area, supposedly was a super in another locale and the league agreed to let him do some here as well. What I am waiting on is a chance to see him actually work a game and see if he really does the out-1, in-2 count.

What are the situations that the Federation says the official will use a visible count.

5-seconds to inbound
10-seconds back court
5-seconds closely guarded
10-seconds to shoot a FT (although the "visible count" is different, here)

NOT 3-seconds in the lane.

If I'm not mistaken, a visible count is called for in all situations with the exception of the 3 second count.
