Looking for some opinions/guidance on showing the 10-second count (I am relatively new to basketball officiating). When I first started, I counted all 10 seconds with individual arm movements - and did the same on my 5-second inbounds count. Then 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.
I've tried doing that but it feels strange - especially on the 5-second. Yet when I go back to my old method and try not to move fast, I find my 10-second count is closer to 12-13. Any tips? And do you always start a 10-second visible count when the ball is in backcourt, or do you keep it in your head unless there is defensive pressure or you get to 6 or 7 and the ball hasn't crossed yet? Thanks! |

Your supervisor said to do what?!!!? I don't think my brain and arms could coordinate such a count.
You are a new official so need to learn how to do everything properly. Visible count in the back court, most definitely. And it's 1-second per arm extension. You'll learn that coaches are paying attention to such things.

Practice your visible count, be accurate, and always show a visible count. Imo, never be less than 10, but aim on the side of too long than too quick. Between 10 and 11 is best.

So A5 rebounds B1s missed FT & gives it to A1 per coaches request "Give it to a guard"!! Team Bs coach is screaming "Get back on D" now the only ones in the BC are you & the dribbler. You're clicking all the way to the division line?
Same sitch but after a made basket? |

No decision as of yet? If you do come to the Metro area, it would be a good idea to get your resume & game tapes to the assignors in September before the October draw. Addresses can be obtained from the CHSAA website. Last edited by Ch1town; Tue Aug 12, 2008 at 02:52pm. |

Okay, so using the shot clock for BC violations is a pro mechanic/philosophy. Working in the Pro-Am this summer, the vets (NCAA & CBA guys) said when the 24 second shot clock strikes 16 you have a BC violation as opposed to counting (with or w/out pressure).
I guess I better start getting my hand up on OOB violations as well ![]() It was so nice to just point & verbalize. |
