Sure they do. If the player is attempting to get a shot off with numerous moves, pump fakes, etc., he does, most certainly, get an additional 2, 3, 4, 5 seconds or more

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

But a lot of rookie officials will ignore this rule and call three seconds.
