Blown 10 second count

[Kelvin green]

In the middle of the first quarter no one is watching the clock to see if your 10 second count is off. However having a 11.7 second backcourt rewards bad offense and does not reward good defense. 10 seconds should be 10 seconds.

At the end of a quarter everyone is watching the clock, we should know it too. If the clock shows 19, I sure as heck try and make sure that it is close. if the clock has tenths of second this is easier than if it does not but if the clock shows 12 and it was 19 I would not be blowing my whistle..

I watched a JV game the other day, there was 27.2 on the clock, clock started correctly. ball was touched in front court at 16.3... No whistle, the team that palyed good defense was screaming and what defense do we have? My count is slow coach so no matter how hard you play Defense I am not going to reward this....Glances and peeks will save a lot...
