How do you know they aren't paying attention to the 3 second call? It is not a visible count. I have seen the 3 second call miscalled a lot this year. I had a game earlier where my partner called it 3 times in one half as the trail. The lane is not the trail's primary coverage area. I can see maybe once but 3 times as trail? I've seen officials call 3 seconds when there is a scramble for a loose ball. I've seen officials call it as the ball is going through the hoop and waive off the basket. I've seen it called when the ball is reversed on a steal and negates a fast break basket. I think the 3 second call is called too much especially by the newer officials I have seen.
