10 Second Violation

I have to disagree with your board interpreter. The 3 second count does not end on a loose ball. It does end on an interrupted dribble. But the count continues if the ball is loose because of a deflect pass or fumbled ball. 9.7b details that there is no 3 second count when there isn't team control or during an interrupted dribble.

Now, having said that, I'm not advocating that you call this. I'm just speaking in terms of what the rule actually is.

There is a provision in the casebook at the end of
9.7b for suspension of the 3 sec count for a player with the ball in the restricted area. This allows that player who may have been in the lane then got the ball a chance for a try.
When this happens you suspend the count if the palyer attempts a try no penalty if they pass hit em with the 3.

Paul,
So if we get to two, and the player gets the pass and passes out, we restart at 3 as long as that player maintained control and didn't lose the ball?

The player gets the ball after being in the lane for 2 sec
we suspend the count knowing he has now been in the lane for
3 sec or more this player is allowed to attempt a try (within a reasonable time maybe a head fake or 2)(or if at the top of the restricted area drives to the basket) if the player passes the ball he has now violated the 3 sec rule.

That works for me. Thanks, Paul
