Personally, I would love to see the 3 seconds rule re-written to how it is acutally called. I call it this way:
When a player is posting up in the lane for an extended amount of time, I'll attempt to talk him out. If he doesn't move out and the ball is then passed into him, TWEET! 3 seconds!
If a player is hanging out in the lane, doesn't get out, there's a shot, and he gets the rebound, he'll get away with it once but I'll get him the next time.
Most inexperienced officials will call 3 seconds on any offensive player, even if they're just wandering around without knowing where they are. In reality, newer officials are probably the only ones who call it by the book. Most veteran officials will apply advantage/disadvantage to the it. Since we're not talking about a player with the ball, I can live with that.
