Cool 10 sec with ball in the air.

Who has called a 10 second violation with the ball in the air over the front court?
I do not think I am capable of that.

I have and will again.

However, I am interested in your reasoning though...

Tanner,
Note: I have passed on that call, maybe, 4 times, all told. I have always been okay to call a 10 sec backcourt violation with the ball on or over the backcourt.

Why it's hard for me.
  • My visible count is practiced to be very close to one second, so it seems relatively fast.
  • Time, score and situation can be applicable.
  • I have never seen it called locally, although I would readily defend the call.
  • I wonder if it is a flow interupter.

One Mississippi, Two Mississippi, ...

In twenty-seven years, I've probably called it about a half-dozen times. In most of these situations, I was probably already up to ten with my visible count, waited a short time to put air in my whistle to make sure that I didn't count too fast, expected an immediate dribble across the division line, or a quick, short pass across the division line, and instead got a long pass across the division line, so I blew the whistle. I'm willing to give the offensive team the benefit of the doubt, maybe I counted too fast, but at some point the defensive team has to be rewarded for great defense, so I'm not passing on a backcourt violation that's eleven, or almost twelve seconds, in real time, just because the ball is in the air.

How is it a flow interrupter if the ball is in the air but not if the ball is being dribbled or loose in the BC?

I have at times gotten to 10 (or 8 in FIBA) blown the whistle just as a pass is being thrown into the frontcourt.

BUT, if the pass was already in flight as I got to 10, I would pass on that call.
Why grab the sh!tty end of the stick?

Alright, Mick. Just wondering as I knew there was some reasoning behind it.

You bring up a very interesting point about the count being +/- 1 second.

Ok. You've got me wondering, too.

Why ignore the obvious violation?

How far does the pass have to be from the thrower before you don't call it?

Why penalize the defense that's done their job?

Why ignore the rule?
