Don't know what to tell you about this. There seems to be a general disdain for making this call amongst officials. I called this the other night in an NAIA game on a team who was up 20 in the first half...and the player I called it on was in the lane at least 10 seconds! At halftime, one of the officials who was on the game before me and stayed to watch a half of our game said, "That is probably the first 3-second call this conference has seen in years."
I took that as he didn't really like the call. I HARDLY ever make the call myself. That being said, I still believe this call should be made if necessary.
Now...how one defines "necessary" is another matter.
