My turn to vent - but there's a 3 second call question in here somewhere.

the higher the level, the less you "need" to call this. I do not see that often in the varsity games that I even come close to calling 3 seconds. I think the most part they understand that rule and know not to stay that long. I do admit, I do not call a pure 3 seconds, they have to be parked and clearly in the lane. If they are not clearly in the lane, then I talk them out of the lane. I think officials focus to much on this rule, it is not the most important in the rulebook.
