3 second count

[bas2456]

I think I have this right, but I'm looking for confirmation...

T or F:
During an interrupted dribble by A1 in Team A's frontcourt, A2 can be called for a 3 second violation

I answered true because a 3 second violation requires team control in the frontcourt, and during an interrupted dribble team control still exists.

There's your answer then. No trickery there.

(Hint: True)

True

Team control does not end on an interrupted dribble, so the count continues. Now whether that is how it is actually called is another story.

Right. Now: what 3 things end team control?

Well that would of course be when the ball is in flight for a try/tap, when an opponent secures control, or the ball is dead.

Do I get 5 extra minutes of recess today??

I have called it this way, once. In that situation (a prolonged loose ball in the lane by a player who'd been in the lane a couple seconds before losing control), I'd do it again, but it's not common. Of course, the coach argued that I couldn't call it during an interrupted dribble.
