No doubt about it: three seconds in the paint.
I'm not disagreeing with you. Just curious... Why?

It is my opinion that it is a rule whose time has passed. The motion offense that teams now use requires players to be moving not standing around like dead wood. Plus, I think that too many officials do not when to call it and when not to call it.

I've seen teams with multiple 6'9" ers whos job it is to pretty much stand around like dead wood in or near the paint. Seems to me the 3 second rule at least keeps them from growing roots.

As for knowing when & when not to call it, that's a coaching problem, not a rules problem.
