New Experience

[26 Year Gap]

Girls AAU after a made basket, A1 takes ball out and looks at me as I am counting. She never looked onto the court and she ended up turning the ball over on a 5 second count. And it was not a fast 5 second count. I probably could have done a 10 second count.

Last week, I had a 6th grade boys spring league team called twice for a 10 second backcourt count bringing the ball up. Neither time were there any players from the other team in backcourt. In fact, neither time were they even close to getting the ball into frontcourt on time. The coach never yelled at them to speed it up, either. The really weird part is that it happened to two different players bringing the ball up. They were just that slow and/or not paying attention.

Oh yeah, we probably had at least ten 3-second counts against them, too.

Your first 5-second violation?
