This is why we have the 3 second rule...this was a no brainer, but probably 3-4 seconds before you thought about it and your partner got it.

Wrong! He was in the lane about 4.5 - 5. When I got to three-- and the count started on the rebound -- he made his move, not to the basket but to pivot. No recount, just the continuation to see if he was going to shoot. No shot. Tweet!
