Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 5307006, member: 12088"] I think the rule is -- and please correct me if I'm wrong -- one foot outside the lane is not sufficient. What I usually see refs accept is one foot outside the lane and then the player lifts the foot still in the lane off the floor for a moment. Here's a perhaps dated statement on it by some guy: [URL="https://www.phillyref.com/articles/basketball/three-seconds.html#:~:text=NCAA%203%2DSeconds%20Issue%20of%20Concern&text=As%20a%20reminder%2C%20a%20player,a%20violation%20has%20been%20committed"]NFHS/NCAA Three-Second Violation Rules[/URL]. In any event, that may have been a quick whistle, and the 3-second rule is not one I'm fond of in general. But it also highlights just how limited Lauren's offense still is. She ended up being pushed out just a couple of feet further than she likes -- not just by that call, but also by the strenuous efforts of Jana Ice Sarah and Paige -- and her willingness to shoot diminished noticeably. Of course, the fact that she still scored 26 on 11-18 shooting shows how great her potential is. But the team was out rebounded by the smaller UConn squad and Lauren only had 5 total rebounds. Geno's strategy against her worked admirably. She will be vulnerable to this until she develops a reliable elbow jumper. [/QUOTE]
