99% of the time when a coach is screaming for 3 seconds, it's been 2 seconds or less, the kid is attempting to leave the lane, there is nobody even IN the lane, or there is a kid with half their foot inside the free throw line.

Gotta disagree here. It seems that in many games a coach has an opportunity to yell for 3 every trip down the court, many times on players who, if they are allowed, will stay in the lane "all frickin' night!"
Sometimes I think all officials except me try not to call 3 seconds but prefer to talk the player out of the lane.
