While one team has possession of the ball, a player is called for an infraction if he/she is in the key for 3 seconds. If there is a loose ball or a rebound, players may be in the key for as long as it takes for the ball to be rebounded or possessed.

In NBA, there a 4, 12 minute quarters. However, whenever there is foul, the ball goes out of court or there is a timeout, the clock is stopped.
