In high schooh, 3 seconds is suspended for a player working his/or her for a shot. Although, almost nobody understands this part of the rule or that it doesn't apply during a try.
Does the same Rule apply in the NBA? I was surprised to hear Hubie Browm who has to be one of the most accomplished coaches anywhere comment last night that a player could have been called for 3 seconds while the player was in the lane clearly working his way in for a hoop.
Question: Say, in HS a pivot person is pivoting and faking in the lane, in preparation for a try. 3 seconds is suspended. What about 5 seconds, closely guarded? Is that a possible call?
