The rules differ slightly in European Basketball and NBA basketball.
In European basketball doesn't have offensive 3-second calls, that rule was implemented by the NBA during the 90's to prevent that eras dominant centers to camp in the paint and catch and dunk.
A 3 second call in the NBA means that you have been in the restricted area (the key/the paint) for over 3 seconds and results in a turnover.
A defensive 3 second call means that you've been camped in the paint without an offensive player to guard in the restricted area and the call for a defensive 3 second call is a technical free-throw (no tech is assessed to a single player)
and the ball back.
"In the paint" or in the area in between the free throw line and basket
It is when an offensive player stands in the paint (the foul shot area) for more than 3 seconds.

the 3 second rule is when your team has the ball, you can't stand in the key area for more than three seconds if you stay in there more than 3 seconds you will be called up by the ref for "3 seconds" hope this helps
a 3 second violation is when you stay in the paint for two long
no
If you mean litterly then you cant make threes. If you mean a 3 pointer then you stand on the 3 point line and shoot the ball in the basketball hoop!!
outside the arc or free throw 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.
It's when an offensive player is in the paint for 3 or more seconds.
its a 3vs3 game. 3 players vs another 3 players.
