I prefer, "Keep moving, keep moving" said in that player's direction. That doesn't imply that someone's in there too long at the moment and could be just vague enough to be a banana for the HM.

I had a 3-second violation in my first game and I don't think I've had one in a game since. I've had plenty of people yell it, usually when the ball is bouncing on the rim after a shot attempt.

Least favorite call one keep moving and after that blow the whistle.

Murphy's law, whenever I'm watching for 3 seconds, I miss something.

Continuing warnings are dead wrong.

Continuing warnings are tiresome. If I'm still talking to post players in the third quarter, I'm not getting my message across. I'll talk early, but a whistle and an off-ball foul will get the message across much better, I've found.

Maybe you do but a 3 second call doesn't need you to have your eyes fixated on the player for the whole duration. I say "Clear" once. if the player makes no attempt then they get the violation. In an average varsity contest I might have 1 or 2 on the girls side and maybe one on the boys side.

Really? One per game in boys varsity? I may have one per month and I'm not afraid to make this call when it's there and needs to be made.

I'll probably call it 3 or 4 times in a season.

Yup, once a month.

I've called one so far this season in 14 varsity games. By the time the players get to the varsity level, they should know to "keep moving."

I'll end up giving more reminders in JV games, but I don't normally call it much more.

+1

I'd extend that down to middle school, as well. I remember being taught this rule playing pee-wee basketball at age 9, and even back then, no-one ever told us to keep moving. You learn from making those infractions.

And don't you just love it?

I stole that from one of your posts about three -four years ago and it works well for me. How many times do other officials warn before calling three seconds? I usually give two verbal hints and then bust them at the varsity level.
