I agree with Bart. The 3 second call is one of the most misunderstood calls' by coaches and specially fans. I had a father last night, every single time the opposing team had the ball YELL 3 seconds. I really wanted to go over to him and explain the 3 second rule. They don't understand:
1) The 3 second count is over once a shot is attempted by team A and does not start again until the ball is in control by team A again.
2) A player can be in the paint for 2 seconds, get the ball, make a move to the basket and shoot. That second portion can be up to 3 seconds.
