It is my understanding that if the player is moving across the lane (w/o stopping) we do not start the count. I'm not saying that a player can freely roam around the paint, just that in practice if he moves in, looks for a pass, then moves out without much delay he isn't going to get popped with a violation. I would be hard pressed to blow the whistle on a guy who is clearly on his way out of the lane just because he still has one foot in. I don't think that is the spirit of the rule and MAY be what is meant by the "best call" quote.
