I understand what you guys mean when you refer to the spirit of the rule but we shouldn't forget that if a player is in the lane for 3 seconds and the violation is called, then the other team gets the ball. To me it is kind of like sliding your pivot foot a half inch. The player doing it rarely would gain any advantage but if you don't call it, the other team is put at a disadvantage by not getting the turnover. I'm certainly not arguing with anyone because most of you guys have been calling ball much longer than me and I highly respect your opinions but I tend to agree with Mark that if you start calling it early, by the time the game heats up, they have quit doing it. Thanks, Ralph.
