If an attacking player remains in the key (or paint) for more than three seconds while their team is on offense, the referee will call a three-second violation. This results in a turnover, and the opposing team is awarded possession of the ball. The rule is designed to prevent players from gaining an unfair advantage by remaining close to the basket for extended periods.
