Just to be annoyingly, pedantically clear: In the situation you describe, the three-secound count is suspended or ignored when a player in the paint with the ball "dribbles in or moves immediately to try for goal." The count ends entirely when a shot is released. The count does not begin again until it is in team control again, and then it starts with 1 again.
So in a case like yours, the count ends with the shot, and begins anew only when a player from that team secures a rebound. It then ends again when a shot is taken. Ad nauseum.
