Another 3-seconds question

I assume we are talking about NCAA rules here. In that case the 3 second count is only when the ball is in the front court. So any interupted dribble in the front court will suspend the count. If team A had the ball and an interupted dribble occurs and team A regains control of the ball the 3 second count will start again, even though the player may never have left the key.

Dewey1,
Careful here.

NFHS 9-7 Three seconds: The count shall not begin and it shall be terminated during an interrupted dribble.

NCAA 9-8-3 Three-second Rule: The count shall not begin nor shall it be terminated during an interrupted dribble.
