10 secound backcourt or not

[CoachP]

Team A ahead.
9.2 seconds on the clock.
A1 inbounds after a made B1 FT.

Does anyone here start a 10 second count?

[Adam]

Yes, but only until I know the clock has started properly.

I would. But I'm only counting for the camera, I would certainly know that I couldn't a 10-second violation.

Of course, depending on the margin, I might not have to count very long as Team B might be fouling.

There's also the small matter of the clock starting on the touch and the count not beginning until there is control. The OP doesn't say if there was any discrepancy there or not, but just because 10 seconds ran off the clock doesn't necessarily mean there is a 10 second violation.

True, but that wouldn't (or shouldn't) lead to resetting the shot clock to 27 seconds, as in the OP.

It could lead to properly granting a TO with 23 or 24 seconds on the shot clock and no 10-second violation.

I do. I always count. You never know when you'll be needing some type of definite knowledge. Ten seconds. Five seconds. Three seconds. Aways count, no matter how little time is left on the game clock.

Ditto on that. If you have counted five and the timer neglected to start the clock on an inbound, for example, there is definite knowledge to bring the clock down to 4.2.
