yes, it's a suspended count, not terminated. It doesn't terminate unless he shoots or gets out of the lane.

[Coach Bill]

Is a drop-step move, or an up and under, etc... considered a drive to the basket?

For example, player in the lane for about 2.5 seconds, catches the ball, dribbles to the middle and drop-steps to the baseline and shoots, taking about 1 second to complete this move. Should there be a three seconds violation before the shot?

The word suspended is not in here but:

NCAA Rule 9 Section 9. Three-Second Rule
Art. 2. Allowance shall be made for a player who, having been in the three-second lane for less than three seconds, dribbles or moves in immediately to try for field goal.
a. The player shall not pass the ball instead of trying for goal.

Anyone have a Fed reference?

In the NCAA rule book 9-9.2a provides parameters.

It means keep the count going, but don't call the violation unless / until there's not a try (or an attempt to work open for a try) by the player in the lane.

It means you suspend the count. Don't read too much into it, figure out how the veterans interpret it and do it that way.

That said. It doesn't mean terminate it, or they would say terminate it and start over. The wording in the NCAA rule is identical, with the addition of the prohibition on passing. That prohibition is essentially redundant, but it shows the intent of the "allowance."
