Down goes Frazier...

I found another thing in the video. My counting of the 10-second count speeds up and slows down depending on how fast I'm moving. I was not aware of this and my counting, on average, was actually too fast, which is pretty hard to believe.

Worked a juco men's game tonight (101-94 final, BTW), and I counted "1-thousand-one" etc. as I swung my arm. A huge improvement, at least based on my perspective. When I get more film, I'll know how much better I'm doing.

When you're ripe, you rot, and all that...

I started using the "thousand" count this season to keep my count consistent.

I had the shot clock to help tonight, but I won't in my HS game tomorrow. I should arrange for a DVD tomorrow.

Let me add this: I'm glad I'm not the only one to do this. I thought my count was consistent, but the video proved otherwise. Anything I can do to make my work better, I will.

That's how I've done it since I started.

Me too. I've got video coming soon, though, so I'll have a chance to check.

I've used a stopwatch/timer to help with my counts. The good news is that the speed of my count doesn't vary with my foot speed, but I have found that it tends to get faster if more pressure is placed on the ballhandler (either backcourt or closely guarded). Weird.

May need to try the "thousand" trick...

Or try the Mississippi trick.
