3 seconds violation
When I was reffing a high school mens game last night, a player came up to me at half time and asked a question. He asked me a good question that i asked my fellow officals and we couldnt come up with a solid answer. When the offensive team is inbounding the ball from the far end of the court and needs to cross the half court line to approach their basket, the 10 second count is done for the offense to get across the half court line. But while the offense is still on the opposite side of the court during the 10 second count, can there be a 3 second violation on the offense in the offensive paint, or does the 3 second count start when the ball crosses the half court line?

That's pretty scary.

A high school mens game? You mean a high school game in which all the boys were at least 18?

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. |

Agreed. I also find that marshmallow thing a bit perplexing.

You can make a smore in 3 seconds?

It's a southern thing. When we're camping out we simply roast marshmallows (no s'mores). Standard answer to newbie officials when inquiring about 3-seconds: "call it when they hand you a burnt marshmallow."

The Dark Side ...
Back in my middle school coaching days, I will tell my players to imagine that the lane was covered with hot coals. They can bounce around in there for a few seconds, but if they stay in there they're going to get burned, so get the hell out. I also told them that if they ever catch a pass in the lane, if they don't immediately make a pass and get out to the lane, then they'd better shoot the ball, even if the shot was going to be blocked, or the shot was going to be taken off balance. We didn't get too many three second calls against us.
