The guy brought this up because of a game he had.

He said the kid was in the lane for at leat 7 seconds, so he called a 3 second violation. The coach went nuts, rightfully so, because the kid was advancing to the basket (I wasn't there, but he agreed the kid was technically moving in). His thinking was the kid was in there for much longer than 3, so he bailed and took the easy way out.

Later in the game, the same thing happended, so instead of calling 3, he called a 5 second closely guarded.

Apparently the coach did not say one word.


I had never thought of this situation, but it is good to think about.
