I've seen you work, you don't do this.
You're absolutely right about that. I don't look to make 3-second calls unless I feel I have to. Most of us are like that. But I want to be clear that I disagree with the "he can make as many headfakes/jukes as he wants" philosophy. IF he's in the lane long enough that we've noticed it (which we all agree is going to be more than 3 actual seconds) and then he tries multiple dipsy-doodle moves, we should have a violation. He should not be allowed in the lane for as long as he wants simply b/c a try is coming sometime in the future. The try or move to the basket must be immediate.
As I recall in this play A1 started at the high post, recieved a pass & drove in after a head fake. He then picked up his dribble, headfaked again & went in for a layup.

No way, now how is this play a 3 second violation.
