I do not know if I can put it into words, but I will give an example. Team A has the ball in its front court. A1 (he/she could be the 6'-06" center or the 5'-06" point guard) is standing at the free throw line to set a screen. A1 has one foot about four inches into the paint. Tweet!! Three seconds. How does this effect the play? I hope this answers your question.

I understand advantage/disadvantage. What I'm asking you is why do you feel it should only apply to 3 seconds and not other violations? I don't know how to make it any clearer.
Here's an example for you. A1 is dribbling the ball up the floor, still in the BC. The defense is packed back in a tight zone with the closest defender 40' away from A1. While dribbling, A1 carries the ball on one dribble.
Are you going to call that? How does this effect the play? It's no different than the play you describe feom an advantage/disadvantage viewpoint. If you don't call it, then you've applied advantage/disadvantage.
Comments?

I don't know about you, but I am going to call the violation on A1 in your play. I think the difference is that 3 seconds is a violation that is normally associated with a player that does not have control of the ball. Its just one of those I know it when I see it type of plays. And I don't see it very often.
