Another game I did I had 10... no exageration here.... 10 3-4th grade girls standing in the lane trying to rebound a ball. One lady with a voice like a crow yells out, "You have to call that." At a TO I'm waiting to inbound and she says, more politely this time, "You have to call 3 -seconds." I look at her and reply, "Mam, I have 10 girls in the lane on every shot. Which one do you want me to call it on?" She said, "Oh... that might be a problem, huh?"

While your statement may have quieted her down, I am thinking a more educational statement would have been more appropriate. Something along the lines of, "Ma'am, the three second count TERMINATES when a shot is taken." In reality, even if only ONE, count 'em ONE player was in the lane when the shot went up NONE of them would have been guilty of a three second violation.
