- Prevent if we can, enforce if we must.
- A 3 second violation can occur only when there is team control in the front court
- A 3 second violation can occur when there is no player control
(e.g. during an interrupted dribble or passing among teammates)
- The 3-second count is silent and not visible
- One or two alerts (e.g. stating “lane“) may effectively prevent
3-second violations. Additional alerts or coaching (e.g. “get out
of the lane”) are inadvisable.
- A violation occurs only after 3 seconds.
- When a 3 second count is reached
- Find the ball. If it is leaving or has left a players hand on a
try -- no team control, no 3 seconds.
- Check for movement in the restricted area. If a player starts to
move to exit the restricted area, dribble or try for goal -- suspend.
- Be Patient. Be sure. Barely touching the lane boundary is not touching.
3 seconds is not more than 3 seconds.

Care to list who is the author of that article? I have some serious objections to the writer's comments/instructions. Several of them are NOT supported by the rules.
