It becomes 3 seconds when he passes the ball in this scenario? Other side of the story is my partner called it three seconds twice before the A player shot the ball. Then when the same situation happened when I was the lead I didn't call it and caught flack from the other coach. What should I say to that coach?

The count is only suspended if the player with the ball is making a move to the basket to score. So if a player just has the ball, the count continues. But if he/she is in the act of making a move the goal and continues that effort through to a try then you have nothing.
Just holding (or dribbling if not in the action of attempting to score) the ball in the lane is not an exception. That's what it sounds like you are saying. If that's what was happening your partner was right.
