Found this Gem 3 seconds

[Nevadaref]

Look at the game clock in the video. You can see the seconds on it.
The lay-up is missed at 53. The rebound is grabbed at 52. The next shot is released at 50. The whistle is blown and clock stopped at 49.

The violation call is clearly incorrect.

I wouldn't even have started such a count in this scenario. Can anyone here on the forum honestly say they would? A 3-second violation wouldn't even have entered my mind at this point.

Mine neither. The point at which a 3-second violation enters my mind is usually about 3 seconds after I begin to contemplate that perhaps more than 3 seconds have elapsed.

I have not called a three seconds violation in 50 years and I stated officiating in 1971.

Unless an offensive player is in the lane and there's nothing going on anywhere near him, and there's nothing else for me to monitor, a three-second violation never comes to mind.

Had two 3-second violations in my last college game. One of them was a double whistle.

They do occur.

I've called two this season myself. They tend to call themselves.

My son played in a tournament last week with similar timing issues. (IMHO, the two man team was out of its depth, at least trying to do the game two-man.). But in addition to a few three second calls (at least one was very quick following a shot), we were graced with a 10 second backcourt call (while the shot clock only showed 9 seconds had run), a five second closely-guarded call when no one else in the gym thought the casual dribbler was being closely guarded by the leisurely defender, and the first time I've ever seen a 10 second call on a FT in a high school game (I wasn't counting, but it seemed quick to me, and was whistled as the ball left the shooters hand). At least they were consistent with quick counts....
