I had one coach that would assign a set like 150's on the 2:15......then tell us to leave on the :23 or something crazy.
I do this with my age groupers. I do it because after 6 years of being in the program they STILL can not read a clock correctly, even after having it explained over and over. It's not that they don't know how, it's that they do not focus on it. So starting at the 11, or the 17 or the 22 FORCES them to pay attention, well, it's that or we start the set over and over and over again.
I don't do it all the time but I use it when I have to.
