Right, or wrong, we (IAABO mechanics, almost all two person) don't have such in-game protocols in place. We only count players before the jump, after intermissions, after timeouts, and after substitutions. We don't usually count before free throws, unless there is a timeout, or substitution, involved.

Unless there was a timeout, or substitution, involved with this free throw, and unless some coaches, or fans, stated yelling, there's a slight chance that I might have screwed the pooch on this play myself. There but for the grace of God, go I.

("Screwing the pooch", and "grace of God", in the same post, during Lent, I'd better get to confession soon.)

I was offering a way to help prevent things for happening, I certainly wasn't calling anybody lazy.
