I think it's very poor judgement to call 3 seconds on a guy who dribbles out of the lane. They have gained no advantage whatsoever as far as the intent of the rule.

I've never seen an official do anything other than call the violation if a player ceases to try for goal via dribbling out or passing out of the lane and has been in longer than 3 seconds. As I said, the player has gained a great advantage - the opportunity to take longer than 3-seconds in the lane.
