I really don’t care about it, I was making a general comment about silvers lack of being able to even act like he cares what the league looks like.This isn’t a David Silver thing.
LOL.
You guys are acting like the NBA is the only league where refs don’t count 10 seconds on FTs.
I have watched basketball all my life and I have seen a 10 second FT violation maybe twice.
You bitch about everything LOLI really don’t care about it, I was making a general comment about silvers lack of being able to even act like he cares what the league looks like.
BS.
If the rule was enforced, his routine would be less than 10 seconds. He has a long routine because the violation isn’t called.
And if he practiced with a routine under 10 seconds he would be just fine. Might even help him shoot better with less time to think.
Enforce it or not, just be consistent. The officials consistently don’t count 10 seconds on FTs.
The rule got enforced. He knows the rule. He could have come up with a routine that's less than 10 seconds. If it's going to be a rule, enforce it. If it's not going to be enforced, get rid of it. It's really that simple.
It is like a speed limit.
The rule is there to prevent players from intentionally stalling to delay resumption of play. There has to be something to prevent a player from taking an indefinite amount of time.
But it doesn’t need to be enforced to the letter. Only if people are abusing it.
Because whether you take 12 seconds or 9 it doesn’t really affect anything at all.
Yeah, until it's enforced. If it's going to be a rule, enforce it. If it's not going to be enforced, get rid of it. It's really that simple. Maybe we should count shots that are released within tenths of a second of the shot clock expiring. After all, it's only there to keep teams from using a 4 corners offense.
Ya know, just enforce it if teams start taking like 28 or 30 seconds to shoot.
This conversation is getting sideways.
The point is not whether it should be called. It isn’t called in the NBA, yet @bksballer89 is complaining about Giannis like he expects the refs to call it.
They aren’t going to, and that is consistent with how refs at every level I have seen officiate that rule.
I have many talentsYou bitch about everything LOL
I'll ask again what is the point of the rule if you allow people to abuse it? Imagine if with 8 second violation, they allowed guys to cross halfcourt with 13 or 14 on the shot clock?
You are making a big deal about something that really isn’t.
They aren’t going to,
It is to prevent players from stalling.
will agree that if the rule is in effect it SHOULD be enforced. though let's be real, little nuances like this, 3 seconds, etc. are "enforced" differently by different refs...So is the 24 second clock. But if a team takes 24 and 1/10 of a second to shoot, it's a violation.

just sayin'...
I agree. Which is why I don't really care. But I agree with bks that it should be enforced. If nothing else, because it just adds to "rigged games" narrative. Especially when you have fans actively counting while the player is at the line (which wouldn't have happened had it not been called).
Last point a good one for those who say why have the rule if not gonna enforce it. do those people want a ticket for going 36 in a 35 MPH area?Stop it man.
That rule is hardly ever enforced on any level. And certainly not if the player goes over by a second. And really, that is okay. The player does not gain an advantage by taking a little extra time standing over the FT.
It is kind of like a speed limit. You don’t get a ticket for going a couple MPH over.
you want a speeding ticket if you go 1 MPH over the limit?So don't have a rule. Should players should be allowed to shoot at the 25 second mark even though the shot clock is 24?
