Noticed a mechanic that I do

[JugglingReferee]

So I had a very good JV/V double header today. The V game was first, ended up being a 40-37 contest, with a chance to tie at the buzzer. The JV was an 8-point spread, but only because Team A sunk their late-game FTs.

At times in both games, each team took turns playing tough defense. In our provincial camps, we learn quite early to reward good defense. So when you've got a deep 10-second count going on, you're going to immediately switch arms once you reach the FC.

What I found is that:

• when a team is playing aggressive defense (often from BC to FC as mentioned above), my 5-second CGC starts right away - and continues in that fashion for that possession or until aggressive defense ends
• when a team is not playing aggressive defense, or if Team A is adept at passing the ball around, I would keep hitting only "1" on a CGC, so I just don't count it (it's kinda pointless). Team A just passes or dribbles to > 6' anyways. Therefore, my 5-second CGC is delayed to see if Team B will actually qualify to start a CGC.

I'm not sure if I explained that well.

Does anyone do this?
