By rule, yes, it's a 3 second violation.

If so, then anytime there is a loose ball in the lane, the offense could get punished if they go after it and it takes longer than 3 seconds for anyone to get control. Any help would be appreciated on this.
It's not punishment. It's a penalty and it's a rule.
