Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 2648787, member: 1131"] There must be more to the rule than what is quoted above. I thought the plain-English version of the rule was that the player can't be in the lane for more than 3 consecutive seconds [B]without someone on her team taking a shot[/B]. The shot could be from the perimeter, but as soon as the shot is launched, the 3-second count ends without a violation. Also, I thought that if a player in the lane receives a pass from a teammate, a new 3-second count begins that must end with a shot, either by her or by a teammate. And of course, if the ball is on the rim following a shot (I guess that means it isn't under the control of her team), then offensive players can be in the lane to attempt to rebound it for as long as they like (i.e., as long as putback shots keep going up and missing).
