I can never agree with anyone who says they've only called two of these in a career. The players aren't that smart and you can't talk every dumb player out of 3 in the key. Personally, I hate to make the call, but after I've barked "Get out" 3 times and the player makes no move to give up his spot, or the ball is passed to him, that leaves me no choice. A lot of guys, though, love the three second call. It seems to be an excuse for some to blow the whistle, which destroys the flow to the game. Any more than two 3 second calls in any game is excessive (even two is excessive) and it usually indicates an official looking for any excuse to blow the whistle rather than trying to avoid unnecessary calls. There are times, though, when the call must be made.
