I wouldn't normally comment on this, but since our OP has a basic misunderstanding about the 3 second rule, let me add to this.
Three seconds is only a concern when the ball is in team control in the frontcourt. Team control ends on any shot. So when the shot goes up, the three second count ends (it is not reset, it ends completely). If the shooting team secures the rebound, then a brand new count begins. If there are several missed shots and attempted put-backs, players could be legally in the for long, long time.
