Is this not the most idiotic rule? I mean all the Center has to do is go from one side of a lane to the other. Even if his man is outside the three pt line. OF COURSE HE CAN CAMP OUT DOWN LOW Just not in the lane. . . . Watch and see how many times people will step out of the lane. . .then go right back in Rocket River ------------------
I agree this is a most stupid rule. This rule will cause tons of confusion and whistle happy refs will be all over this one. I'm guessing Dyan Cannon came up with this rule while blowing Jerry Colangelo. ------------------
EXACTLY! I guess one of the 3 refs will count defense and the other one offense and the middle on to keep them 'honest' Rocket River ------------------
I can already see it now. The coaches and players screaming at the top of their lungs: "3 seconds, 3 seconds!" This rule will hinder, not help, the natural flow of the game. I beleive the officiating is at it's worst because of trivial side-rules like this. This little rule within the big rule is absurd. It's goign to be interesting to see how conistentely officials call this rule. Hopefully they won't. ------------------
teams like the spurs could go with a 3-2 zone and have tim on one side and robinson on the other side of the lane. 3 second defence rule won't help. at all! ------------------

I bet those exact words were said about the Offensive 3 second rule. ------------------ In the end there will be no judges...only witnesses to my greatness.
If the refs blow calls on a regular basis now, how on earth are they going to keep up with offensive AND defensive three seconds. Man, I can see it now: Referee: one, two, three....wait, was I counting offensive or defensive. $HIT! Coach: REF! REF, three seconds!!! Referee: Huh? Oh, yeah, one, two, wait....I already counted.....UGH. Coach: Come on Ref, he's camping out! Referee: *blows whistle* Three Seconds! Players: on who? Offense or defense? Coach: WHO REF? Referee: Ummm, defense, NO, offense! UGH, *blows whistle* TECHNICAL FOUL, on the coach! Coach: HUH? What the hell? Referee: SEcond tech. Goodbye, you miserable person! Coach, Javie, you suck! ------------------ HEAD KNIGHT: We are now... no longer the Knights Who Say 'Ni'. KNIGHTS OF NI: Ni! Shh! HEAD KNIGHT: Shh! We are now the Knights Who Say 'Ecky- ecky- ecky- ecky- pikang- zoop- boing- goodem- zoo- owli- zhiv'.
