I'm interpreting that to say that it's at the disposal of the thrower WHEN it's bounced. Is that incorrect? I don't see anything to say it's at the thrower's disposal when they catch it.

When do you start your 10-second count? When the free-throw shooter catches the ball, or when your partner releases the ball to bounce it to the shooter?

I usually start right after I report the foul. I like to keep the game moving.

That's a nice way to keep out of overtime. Don't let him hit that shot to tie the game - call a 10s violation instead!

I like the way this guy thinks.
