3 seconds
== == If an offensive team player stayed in the key-hole (painted area) for more than 3 seconds its called a 3 seconds violation. Ball awarded to the opposing team! In the NBA, there is also a defensive three second call. If a defensive player is in the painted area for three seconds while not guarding an offensive player, the officials can call a defensive three second violation. This rule was put in to keep teams who play the zone defense from placing a player in the lane solely for rebounding or keeping an offensive player from driving the lane.
The line is part of the area it contains meaning that "on the line" is also "inside the area." So, a player trips an opponent. This is a Direct Free Kick offense. Also, it was a defender inside their own Penalty Area, this Direct Free Kick is now upgraded to a Penalty Kick.
On an NBA/NCAA Basketball court, the area known as "The Lane" is the painted area between the baseline and free throw line; therefore, to "go hard in the paint" means playing aggresive offense when in this area, driving to the basket.
Defensive 3 second violation in the NBA is assessed when a member of the defense spends more than three seconds in the painted area while not actively guarding an opponent. To be considered actively guarding, a defender must be within arms length of an opponent and in a guarding position. It should also be know this rule does not exist in High School or College or anywhere else except the NBA. Offensive 3 second violation is the more common one, it is found at all levels and is when an offensive player spends more than three seconds in the painted area while their team is in the front court in play. A shot attempt by any player suspends this count. If the ball hits the rim, this count is reset.
The 3 second call in the lane does not start until the offense has brought the ball into the front court. At this point if a player spends 3 or more consecutive seconds in the lane, they are violating the 3 second rule. There is no three-second count during rebounding action or during an out-of-bounds throw-in. The count on a player in the restricted area is suspended when that player begins to try for a goal (shot).

Using the arm to [deliberately] touch the ball is called deliberate handling and is a direct free kick offense. If a player commits a direct free kick offense within their own penalty area, then the direct free kick becomes a penalty kick. Note that goal keepers are immune to this particular offense within their own penalty area.
its where a defensive player is in the paint for 3 seconds without guarding an offensive player. It also can refer to a violation when an offensive player is in the paint for 3 seconds straight without leaving that area.
Let's say Jimmy is playing offense and another of his teammates has the ball. Jimmy cannot stand in the lane (the area between the free-throw line and the hoop) for more than 3 seconds.
