I'm still pondering this one. I believe that 3 seconds is a useful tool, but should be applied judiciously. In camp this last summer I had a 3 seconds call when the kid had been there for 5+ seconds, but didn't blow the whistle until an entry pass was headed his way (i.e., until he had gained an obvious advantage by being there). The clinician chastised the call because the pass was on the way there when I made it. He would prefer to see the call made before the offender gets involved in any action, or not at all.
What are your thoughts on this?

I think that advantage/disadvantage is often seriously misapplied in the matter of 3-seconds. It is a major league advantage just being in the lane - the defense has to guard you.

And the defense doesn't have to guard you if you are 6 feet farther East or West?
