Valid call?

Not enough info to correctly answer.Need to know if the shot had left the shooter's hand(s) or not before the block.
- if the shot was blocked out of the shooter's hands(iow before it left the shooter's hand(s) on the shot), then team control is not lost and the 3-second count continues.
- if the shot was blocked after it left the shooter's hand(s), player control was lost and a new 3-second count would not be started until an offensive player gained control in their front-court with either themselves or a teammate in the lane.
