As an official: Easy quarter though personally I wouldn't be happy "working" that.

As a paying fan: I'd be pissed

It would depend on where I am in the season honestly. It would not be the preferred game to work, but sometimes it is good to have an uneventful game.

Peace

Thankfully I work FIBA games where the 24 second clock rules, even at the high school level.

Play Ball ...
Back in the olden days, the officials would have instructed the defense, because they were behind, to "Play ball". They would then have to move into position so that an official would have to start a five second closely guarded count. If they didn't comply, I believe that a a technical foul would be charged to the team. I'm sure that Mark T. DeNucci, Sr. will be moseying by shortly to confirm, or deny, this.

Wouldnt that be something close to what the NBA Defensive 3-second rule is?

Only in the sense that a player has actively guard an opponent (within arm's length and actually playing the man) when within the key...but then again, they can also terminate the count if they exit the key or get a deflection on the ball.

Only thing I worry about in these situations is if I can remember if the ball-handler already used his dribble.

I can't remember if it was an immediate technical foul, or a warning, to be followed by a technical foul. It was thirty years ago. Give me a break.
