I don't think this will change post play that dramatically.   First, the longstanding rule on three seconds has been:

"It is a violation for a player to have [B]any part of her body[/B] remain in the three-second lane for more than three consecutive seconds while the ball is in control of that player’s team in her frontcourt."

So it has not been legal for a player to have even part of one foot in the lane for more than three seconds in any recent year.   The only change being made is that a player has to make sure to have both feet on the floor to stop the count.    But I seriously doubt that referees will play "gotcha" and call a player for a violation if one foot is still in the air at the count of three, as long as the player is making an effort to vacate the lane.   For many years, most trivial violations of the three second rule have been ignored by most refs.    Usually they only call it if the player is gaining an advantage.   I expect that will be exactly how they will call it going forward.
