Yep - the 10 second count doesn't start until team control is established.

Snaq, I was seeing the meaning.

Unfortunately how many coaches see it the same way as officials?

Most coaches think 10-secs. off the clock in the BC=Violation.

I seen a couple of situations like that last year where the shot clock went from 35 to 25 & no FC status with the coach requesting a violation be called.

Generally I've noticed there's about 1-2 sec. difference between the clock & the official's count.

It's almost impossible to count too fast without separating your shoulder.

And that's usually what I tell a coach when he says that to me.
