Three seconds is a lot of time from the to ball being inbounded at the division line. Actually unless you can get the pass directly in the lane area, then you are making a possible bad pass or you are not going to get time to make a couple of passes to get the shot off in time. The division line at least gives you a chance to get someone up in a spot to take a decent shot. But I get your point. I just see plays work better in that situation away from the basket unless the defense completely misses an assignment, which usually does not happen that badly.
