Thanks for the effort everyone went to make this list. I'm going to give it to the person in charge of YBOA (& rec youth leagues) and hope that they distribute them out to the coaches/parents.
Re: the 3-second count, if a player legally has the ball in the lane, enforcement of the 3-second count is suspended if, and while, the player makes a move to score; the limit on the time of suspension is 5 seconds, per the closely guarded rule.

I mean, how long can a player be in there making a move? Is this not, also, a 'closely guarded' situation?
