That official should be smacked for screwing up such a basic rule.

Actually, he didn't get smacked. My player got smacked with a T for complaining that no one was even close to him. It was pretty comical because he was our point guard standing between the top of the key and half court re-setting the offense. This was an AAU game, using NFHS-rules, so I don't believe we had high school caliber refs.

So the official called the 5 second violation? Where was the defender?

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.

I just figured you played on a very small court.

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.
