The official appears to give the three second violation signal, and also states, loudly, "Three seconds".



What was he thinking? I certainly don't know. Maybe he didn't see the first shot, and thought that the offensive players in the lane lane were passing the ball among themselves? Even if that were true it was still a quick three seconds. Maybe if the last shooter hadn't faked a shot (not moving immediately to try for goal), he wouldn't have called it?

Any way you look at it, I agree with JRutledge, it was a "horrible" call.
