Question Restart counts? (FED)
In another thread, the issue of "restarting counts" after timeouts came up. I thought this issue was deserving of a separate thread, so this is it.

I've had discussions with guys about changing the FED rule about restarting 10 second, 5 second and even 3 second counts (plus, I guess, shot clock counts) if the offensive team is awarded a timeout. Some of the guys think the count should restart after the inbound where it left off, while others like it the way it is. The main argument by those who want to leave it alone is that the number of timeouts is finite, and if a coach wants to "waste one" to avoid a turnover, then that's equitable.

Comments on that point?

BOO !!!!! Bad Idea
Mark -

I like the way it is now. If a coach has to burn time outs early in the game, then so be it.

Suspending 5 sec. counts would be completely insane !!!!!!

I don't mind it the way it is now. I say leave it alone.

I'd be in favor of a hard count for backcourt counts if there was a shot clock (though if it was a rule even w/o a shot clock I wouldn't be against it). Everything else I'm okay with how it is handled.

It ain't broke. A coach only has 5 TOs per game, if he wants to burn them to save a violation, what's the big deal? I'm against suspending 5 second counts and 10 second counts.

The entire idea is silly, IMO.

Too problematic to change. I don't see it happening.

The only one I want to see it applied to is the the backcourt count.

Resume from the unexpired portion of the count, or 5 seconds, whichever is more for:
  • Offensive time-out that stops play
  • Inadvertant whistle
  • Defense deflects ball OOB

IMO, picking up the count where it left off after a TO is a big can of worms. Let's say the count was 7. Do we start 7 8 9 10? Or do we start 8 9 10? We will have to inform coaches which is always 'fun', considering it can be a hassle to see if they want a 'full or 30". To me it just adds another layer of 'bureacracy" (even if it is misspelled!)

Maybe we should start counting backwards.

I only count backwards for the last 10 seconds of each quarter.
