IMO, as long as the player with the ball is looking at the basket (and I don't mean that literally), I'm not inclined to call a three-second violation, no matter how many times s/he fakes.
And ya know what, so would Chuck, regardless of what he says here.
I really don't think I would. If you're gonna stand in the lane and do 50 headfakes, you're gonna get a whistle. That's always the way I've been taught, and I really believe it. I'm not just arguing for the sake of it. You don't get 7 seconds (2+ in the lane, and then 5 closely-guarded) instead of 3 just b/c you're working on your head-fake.
I'm not even sure I see the original play consuming 5 seconds, but now you've got it up to 7, and the poor SOB has acquired tuorettes, 50 headfakes in that 5 seconds (that's 2 headfakes per second for you math illiterates out there).

Who you calling math illiterate?

Last time I checked 50 / 2 is 25.
I think you both got it wrong...
50 headfakes in 5 seconds is 10 headfakes a second...duh!

BTW...might as well put in my 2 cents.

50 headfakes gets a 3 second violation whistle from me.
Maybe not on one upfake, I would have to see it, but..."forever in the key"...I don't think so.

Depends on which of the 3 you take as the variable. I took his total and rate as inputs to come up with a time...

50 headfakes at 2 per second takes 25 seconds.

You could also take his total and time and come up with a rate...as you have done.
