Three Seconds

[M&M Guy]

I don't remember seeing that actually in print, at least not recently, but what I had always been told was to consider advantage/disadvantage in calling three seconds. I would consider a player trying to get out of the lane and blocked the same as the player with their back to the basket, up at the free throw line, with their heels in the lane. Yea, they are "in the lane", but no real adavantage being gained.
