Think about this. If he/she was in the lane for 5 seconds, what are the chances that he/she will find himself with a closed guarded call?

5 seconds, max.

There is no three-second count between the release of a shot and the control of a rebound, at which time a new count starts. There is no three-second count during a throwin. There is no three-second count while the ball is in the backcourt. 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.

If they are making an attempt to score I leave it be. If they kick out and leave immediately upon kicking the ball out they are ok in my books

So if the player is in the lane with the ball for 5 seconds and then passes it out, you don't have either a 3 second or a 5 second violation?

That would be correct.

So you allow the defense to be drawn to a player with the ball in the lane, allow him to be in there an illegal length of time, and then allow him to dish it out to an unguarded teammate for an open shot?

You don't think that's creating an advantage for the team with the ball?

I've NEVER heard ANYONE suggest that this isn't a violation or shouldn't be called. So I'm really interested in your thought process.

Actually, there's a word to describe this - "WRONG"!

bt64,
I believe you had a typo in your response. It should read, "That would be in-correct!"

Once the player passes it out, he's no longer trying for goal etc., then I've been told and taught that we would call the 3 seconds.

If they are trying for goal or moving to attempt to do so they are okay.

I haven't thought about 5 secs but that could be called also.

Thanks
David
