See the <b>RULING</b> in case book play 9.2.7. It says <i>"The count on a player is suspended when that player begins a try for goal".</i>. Iow, you keep counting until...citing rule 4-41-2...<i>a player is trying for goal when the player has the ball and in the official's judgment is throwing or attempting to throw for goal".</i> Throwing for goal is a "try", and that's defined in rule 4-41-3--<i>"The try starts when the player bregins the motion which habitually precedes the release of the ball".</i>. Iow, you suspend the 3-second count to let a player shoot. If they don't shoot, but pass instead, then the allowance doesn't apply.
The count is also suspended if the player dribbles straight to the basket and then goes directly into a "try".
"Immediately" just means that the player doesn't stop at any time during the dribble and/or try to make some fakes, pass the ball or check out the cheerleader in the front row with the big gabonzas. |
