Another 3-seconds question

[dhodges007]

I noticed in the game last night that one of the duke players was camping out in the paint. I was wondering if they were going to call 3 seconds on him or not. When another player went to drive for the basket and the official saw that they might score, he then called three seconds. But that brings up a question. What if he shot the three instead, would he have blown the whistle then?
