3 seconds.....are you nuts ??

[RookieDude]

Actually, the NFHS does give allowances for a player to be in the lane for over 3 seconds.

9-7-3
Allowance shall be made for a player who, having been in the restricted area for less than three seconds, dribbles in or moves immediately to try for goal.

Edited for a case play:
9.7.2
The count on a player in the restricted area is suspended when that player begins a try for goal.
