One thing is for sure, I would be missing a lot of action if i started watching this kind of 3 second action.
Probably. Obviously, no one (hopefully) will call A1 on a violation if his big toe is in the lane for 3.0001 seconds. However, if A2 has been fully in the lane for 8 seconds, and then only gets one foot out, and stays there for another, oh 20 seconds, call the violation.

I tend to miss a lot of 3-second violations because I'm concentrating on the action of bodies in the paint.
