3 second count for offensive player in the lane begins once team advances the ball into front court. That count starts over every time there is a try for a goal (air-ball or not), on every time player fully exits the lane. If your count is at two and that player receives the ball most officials will suspend their count and allow player to go up for a shot or immediately dribble out.

Gotta love parents and coaches that will scream for 3 sec violation when multiple shot attempts are being made and players are in the lane attempting to rebound. Also, a youth basketball coach can count to three faster than anyone else on the planet.
