I was watching the Kansas/Colorado Men's game last night and nearly fell out of my chair. Kansas up by 6 in the 2nd half. Colorado has the ball in their frontcourt. All the action at the 3 point line and as a shot goes up the whistle blows and the Lead Whistle calls a 3 second violation off ball as the shot is made. Is that the rarest call in the Mens game or was it a justified whistle. I have always held that whistle unless obvious advantage gained by camping in the paint. This call was off ball and play was uneffected. Any thoughts??

Welcome to the board.

If he's been in the lane for 5 or 6 seconds and has inside position when the shot goes up, he's gained an advantage. Perhaps the L had been trying to talk him out of the paint nad had no recourse. Difficult to know. |

I was at the Wyoming-Dayton game on Saturday, and saw 2 three second calls in that game. At the time I wasn't looking in the key, so I don't know if they were justified or not, most likely they were, however I don't know when the last time I saw a 3 second call made at that level and bam 2 in one game....Those calls stuck out like sore thumbs, right wrong or indifferent..

I'd ask this: Was that lead official watching the live play? Perhaps he'd not anticipated that a shot would go up, perhaps he didn't see it go up, or perhaps he didn't care it went up. He may have been shouting, "get out of the paint!" or "clear the paint, big guy!" and got no response. How many times do you warn before ya'll call it? I'll say this, I've called one (maybe two) 3-sec calls my varsity career. Hardly ever.

I have been away awhile but now I'm back and this thread made me think.I had a j.v. boys game the other day and I had several warnings about camping in the key.On this time down I didn't say anything but realized i was at six on my count.I called three seconds and as I ran by the coach says you CAN'T call three seconds unless you warn them at the j.v. level.I was dumbfounded and speechless!

One of the most compelling reasons to call
3 seconds, apart from the fact that 'It's the rule', is when you can observe that a violation is going to put a defender in a particularly advantageous position if the shot misses. Obviously, you can't call 3 after the ball has been released . . .

Based on the responses I've read dealing with 3-sec lane violation, I wonder why it has lasted this long in the rule book. If its not going to be enforced, why have it? I hardly EVER see this call being made anymore. It was a common call years ago.

Another reason, of course, is that officials often look at 3-seconds as a "bush league" call, for whatever reason.

You're calling 3-second violations on the defense? I sure hope your shirt is grey and your pants are navy . . . .

JMO, but I tend to think of 3 seconds as a tool that I can use when needed to clean up a situation. If somebody is camping, I'm calling it. If somebody is gaining an obvious (to me) advantage, I'm calling it. But I'm not about to go looking for opportunities to call it, it's too disruptive to the flow of the game.
BTW, I had a partner once call 10-12 of these in the first half. No flow; UGLY first half.
