If this were Real Housewives of Atlanta you would be "Tardy to the Party".

Hey, we all learn sometime.

A few years ago, I had a five-second violation in a middle school boys' game. The coach was stunned, replying, "THAT was three feet?!"

I smiled, I informed, and he learned.

You're right...I was too harsh with that statement.

This was an AAU game, using NFHS-rules, so I don't believe we had high school caliber refs.
can you be more specific? the ft line to the top of the arc is only 3 feet and 3 feet beyond that is still between the half court line and the top of the arc, which is 6 feet, so it is possible to have a count

You may want to re-check the ol' court diagram in any rule book. Or online. Or anywhere.

Can anyone answer my question here?
