calling it but dealing with the annoyances afterwards

[beachbum]

I always give one warning.. "get out of the lane 34". But if the player is moving across and takes alittle more than the 3 seconds, i ignore it. Camping is my key component.

I called it last week on a player that remained in the lane to set for a rebound. The more advanced high scholl teams run set offences so it is easy to tell what the players will do. The play wasn't around him, so there was no ADV/DVG,, but his ultimate goal was to have an advantage. I heard his coach yell at him to get out of the lane in approval of my call.
Usually by the time I realize I should be counting, it's been a second or two anyways. so they are getting a little break. it's suprising that coaches and fans believe that we just sit under the basket looking for 3 second violations.

AND with the 5 or 10 second count, I try to move my arm a little slower than a second per movement.
