Welcome to the board!!
Counting only happens if someone is "almost" pinned. Hence the term "near"-fall.
There is no count when you are pinned. When you're pinned, you're pinned.

A pin occurs when both of the wrestler's shoulders touch the mat

Don’t the shoulders have to be at 45 degrees or less to start the count
