First, I would like to say I think this site is great. I coach youth basketball (6th-9th grade) and am making a concerted effort to understand the rules so I pass them on correctly to the kids. Posts to and from this site have been very helpful. Here is one I had never noticed before and would like your interpretation(s). Rule 9, Section 7 regarding the 3 second violation says that "allowance shall be made for a player who, having been in the restricted are for less than 3 seconds, dribbles in or moves to try for the goal." How do refs interpret this? Must it be a direct move to the basket? Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks.
