The three second rule for the offensive team has been in existence since 1936. The NBA introduced a three second rule for the defense in 2001, the same season the zone defense was allowed to be played, to keep the defensive team from putting players near the basket and waiting for someone to drive the lane or cut into the lane for a close in shot.
