Since we are on the subjuect of 3 sec.
I had a rec. league game where a post player is posting up.
I told him to get out of the key as he was getting out he decided to just straddle the key line one foot out and the other inside the key as I was telling him to get out he decided to stay at the low post and just lifted his inside foot that was in the key to avoid a violation.
During a dead ball I told him he needed to be completely out meaning both feet has to be touching outside the keys,he told me that he is an x-college player and he know the rules on the 3 sec. and stated that as long as he has no body part touching inside the key the count should be terminated and that it is legal to just lift his foot up to be consider out of the key.
We argue about it for a few minutes and I told him as long as am refing this game he need to get out base on my rule enterpatation of the 3 sec.
Soon after the game was over I tried to look it up on the ruling or try to find a better case senario but can't seem to find it so can u help me with the rule on the 3 sec.
