I was giving an example. If I was observing the player with the ball, and he held the ball for 3 seconds but wasn't closely guarded, then I'm not going to have a visible count, but I still know that he was guarded for 3 seconds and I could still use that information to correct a timing mistake. For someone to suggest that that would only be a "guess" because there was no visible count is ridiculous.

I will say this, though. If I'm going to end a quarter on my count, I'm using a visible count. I want THAT on tape.

My Opinion ...
Quote:
For me definite knowledge would never be me mentally going back and trying to remember how much time had passed (unless I was actually counting). If I'm not counting, then it's not definite knowledge.

Agreed. Of all the possible ways to implement a blarge, that is perhaps the absolute worst.

As far as using a visible count at the end of the quarter, I don't. I don't feel the need to prove it to anybody, and what if the guy with the ball sees it and wrongly assumes it's a closely guarded count.

And you don't have to (prove it). That's a personal preference for me, because I may well end the quarter with 3 seconds on the clock. If I'm going to do something no one in the gym has likely ever seen happen, I just prefer to have as much back-up as possible.

This is a very reasonable attitude, but it also backs up my point. Nobody's ever seen this, so if they see the visible count, they're going to think it's something else.

There is so much wrong here. The only thing I'll say is officiate as if every game of yours is being recorded and could end up on YouTube. Do you want to be seen on tape misapplying a rule? You (and your partner) have already screwed up mechanically...don't **** it up even more with a rules misapplication.
