I could not disagree with this more. If A1 is moving to the basket or is about to attempt a try, withhold the whistle. As soon as A1 is no longer attempting a try, it's a violation (assuming that the count has exceeded 3 seconds). If you pull the ball back down for a fake, whistle. If you turn away from the basket for a spin, whistle. That's the way I was taught.

Ya know what?

I don't believe that you watch the lane that closely, hell bent on taking a 3 second violation at the slightest provocation.

I've seen you work, you don't do this.
