definate knowledge does not require a visible count. does not require that you have any other count going , you can just count in your head, so if you were willing to let the guy stand their for ten seconds and not pick up the ball and you did not start a five second count for some reason - if you counted in your head to 6 or 8 or 10. you would have definate knowledge that 10 seconds ran of the colock and you could take that amount of time off the clock.

Counting in your head is not one of the official counts referred to 5-10-2 and therefore does NOT constitute definite knowledge. The counts needs to be visible and with all of the video that is being captured of games these days, you had darn well better be able to have the tape back you up if you make a timing correction. Some more carefree officials might count in their heads and claim that is okay, but the fact that there is no way to verify this count leaves them open to severe criticism and makes it difficult for an assignor to back them. I wouldn't advise anyone to do it that way. |

Because if I'm counting (even unofficially), I'm using that count. Play: A inbounds into the FC with 20 seconds remaining. A1 holds the ball near the division line for the last shot, with no defensive pressure. Official keeps a mental count. After 6 seconds, someone shouts, "the clock didn't start." Official notices the clock is still at 20 and blows the whistle. You wouldn't set it to 14? |

I just gave it 5-10-2.

One Missippippi, Two Missippippi, Three Mississippi ...
I always keep a mental count when the timer doesn't start the clock right away, i.e., after a throw in, or a missed foul shot, in case he never starts it; and with a few seconds left in a period. I always thought that I could use this as definite knowledge if needed. We are allowed to keep a mental count for three seconds. I hope that you and Nevadaref get this straightened out. Inquiring minds want to know.

First, 5-10-2 stipulates "an official's count OR other official information." What else is other official information? I can't think of anything else (except for the few states, including mine, that use a shot clock -- and supposing that the 2 aren't wired to start and stop simultaneously). Second, I didn't think of this the first time I heard you say this, but how do you explain this: With 10 seconds left, A throws in into the front court. The official begins visibly counting (per your recommendation) in case of a timing error. The official judges a defender to not be closely guarding, but its debatable. When the count gets to five, how do you explain to B HC that there isn't a violation? The purpose of the visible count is to provide information, and typically, it's for situations such as these. |

The only two cases in which I would count instead of stopping play are a quick scoring play occurring immediately upon a restart or when there is very little time remaining in a quarter or extra period and continuous playing action is of paramount importance. For example, on a throw-in with six seconds left and a team having to go the length of the court to score, I would rather just count out the six seconds than break the action. |

Where is that mentioned in the book?

I agree -- and I don't think it need only be any type of rules-based count (e.g., 5-second closely guarded, etc.) |

I' m with Bob on this one.
Nothing says you need a count going nothing says it needs to a situation where a count is going. If I know the clock has not started. I will count to a point where I can stop the play and correct it... I am sure as heck not going to blow a fast break because clcok did not start. |

Let's Go To The Videotape ...
Good point, not just in this situation, but for everything we do. I had a parent tape a last second "heave" on his cell phone a few weekends ago. Luckily, this time, I was right calling off the shot. Tough call. I could have just as easily been wrong.

Technology Can Be Scary ...
Remember, it's not the clock that ends the period in NFHS games, it's the horn, and this cellphone had sound, and we heard the horn clearly before the ball was released.
