I was always under the impression that if you are not rebounding and in the lane for more than 3 seconds it is a violation. I was told otherwise by the refs at the game.

Your impression is wrong.
Team control of the ball is lost on a shot and is not regained until the ball is rebounded - IOW during rebounding there is no team control. 3 seconds only applies to the team that has control of the ball in their front court.
As a practical matter coaches generally lose a lot of credibility when they start asking for 3 seconds.
