I'm not advocating that it be called or not be called. I'm just clarifying that player control has nothing to do with 3 seconds.

I really don't anticipate anyone is going to change the way they call 3 seconds.
Tony,
I was alluding to (and Self touched on it) the difficulty of one official being able to see both the 3-second violation and the interrupted dribble at the same time with all the associated actions
  • 3-second guy leaving the lane
  • player contact due to the loose ball "in the lane"
  • the team in actual possession

    In order to make this call based on reality, I think we'll actually have to be "at 4" before the interrupted dribble occurs.
