3 seconds violation

[Anchor]

Go easy guys. Forget the rule book--a simple rule of thumb is all that is necessary: regardless of ball position, it is 3-seconds when someone hands you a burnt marshmallow.

Now, back to the OP--it does seem a little perplexing to me that of 3 varsity level officials someone did not know that front court makes a difference. Time to spend some more time in the rule and case book.
