A3 and A4 rebound the ball and shoot again 2 or 3 more time, ball don't go in A3 grab the ball and have control of the ball. A2 still in the paint box. Once A3 got control of the ball I continue the 3 second count and whistles to call the violation 3 second on A2 and give the ball to B team.
Did I make the right call?
When the 3 sec count stop if the ball goes inside the paint box parameter?
I had people telling me I shoulded stop the count after the shoot and when team A took control of the ball, I shoulded start a new 3 sec. count. Is this right or not.?

Welcome to the board! We love fresh mea... I mean, new refs. Anyone who wants to get better and learn more about officiating is always welcome here.
Your friends were right, and you weren't. Don't despair, though. That was a small mistake and now you'll never make it again.
If you don't have a copy of a rule book, find out which rules you are working under, and buy a rule book. It will help you a lot. There are several different sets of rules, one for high school which is called NFHS, or Fed; two for college ball, which are called NCAAM and NCAAW; there's FIBA which is international ball; and of course the NBA, which we don't discuss much here.
Happy Hoops!
