True, but when the shot goes up, the 3-second count is eliminated. Also, advantageous position can be gained from a push, elbow, etc.
I know the 3 second count stops when a shot is taken but the does not eliminate the advantageous position gained while in the paint for 10 seconds before the shot was taken. Also, wouldn't you call a foul on a push, elbow, etc?
Sorry for the delayed reply....

Ofcourse I would call that foul, either way. Here in lies the 'dilemma'...
Pregame with partner, discussed exact situation of 3 seconds calls. I rarely like to use them, partner almost never. Players not standing in the middle of the lane, maybe on the block, high at the top of the lane near free throw line. at least two defenders between player and basket. Where is the advantage? A lot of teams play zone in this league.
