I've seen several 3-second calls in D1 games this year. Life as we know it went on.

Exactly right. In the games I've worked players seem to know to get in and out of the lane. When they don't, I call the violation. I'm not much for talking players out, have to say, as I don't see a lot of problems with this in the first place.

I'm not looking to make it my best call, either. I had a coach tell me that a player's toe on the weak side was over the lane line for more than 3 seconds and I was left completely speechless.

We're expected to talk them out of the lane here, but I'm not turning into Chatty Kathy to do it. I'll say "lane" once, but I have found a 3 second call is far more effective.
