Agreed..........

Mick, if a player is making a drive to the basket, I have a very, very hard time justifying calling 3 seconds on a different player. However, if the defender leaves A4 to go over and stop the drive and A1 passes to A4 - ring him up. That's the kind of thing the rule and allowance is trying to prevent.

Absolutely: I suspend the count if a player is driving to the basket, but if he stops or passes, violation.

When A4, in a threatening position, is in the lane for 3 when A1 is driving such that B4 must make a decision to stay on A4 or help on A1, I call the three. A4 gained an advantage by remaining in the lane..sucking the defense away from the drive. If A4 is in a spot that doesn't put B in such a position, no call.

Not saying you're wrong to do it, just that I can't call that around here.

Just playing devil's advocate here, but isn't this, in essence, exactly the same as blowing the whistle for the 3-second violation as a 3-pt. try is being released? (say, for example, that the defender has to chose between sticking with the A player in the lane or going out to run at/contest the 3-pt. try)

In my mind it is, and I won't make that call.

No....that defender has no chance to get to an 'in-progress' three pointer if they're still defending A5 when A5 has been there at 3 seconds.

Sounds like Intent and Purpose to me.
