How much of you, technically, needs to be OUTSIDE the key to be safe? All of you? And is the line part of the key?
The rule is that to be considered out of the key, and have the count end, you must have both feet touching entirely outside the key. And the line is part of the key. You can't just stand on one foot out of the key, lift the "in" foot, and then put it down again. That second foot must touch outside.

Also, 3 seconds doesn't start until the ball has front court status, and ends when a shot goes up. During rebounding action, no 3 second count should begin until there is team control, in the front court.

I'll let others argue about advantage/disadvantage, and the various interps used to effect the rule.
