3 Second Count

A1 is shooting, missing, and getting his own rebound. Does the 3 second count reset for just him or all of team A that is in the lane?

What must happen for the count to reset?

The three second count "resets" for all of team A.

RULE 9-7

ART1...A player shall not remain for three seconds in that part of his/her free-throw lane.......while the ball is in control of his/her team in his/her frontcourt.

Remember that team control ends while the ball is in flight during a tap or try for goal or an opponent secures control.

If this is college or high school.

Who gets the $5?

Just because coaches or fans are yelling for a 3 seconds call, doesn't mean they are right. It starts over on each shot and quite honestly, this isn't a favorite call for many refs.

I love when a players foot is on the lane line by half an inch and they're counting outloud.

Wouldn't you just love to grade their written exams on the rules?

In front of their peers, heck, let's just go around the room and make them answer out loud so we can all enjoy a good chuckle.
