you can only stay for 5 seconds but if your on the offensive attack u can only stay in the key for 3 seconds (with or with out the ball)
3 seconds
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.
When a defensive player is in the paint for 3 seconds without an offensive player around him.
as soon as you step foot inside the lane as soon as you step foot inside the lane
If you mean is 183 seconds = 3 minutes. Its not. 1 minute is 60 seconds so 3 times 60 is 180 not 183.
If you are on offensive, you can not stand in the key for more than 5 seconds at a time
3/10 of an hour is 18 seconds. if you mean 1/310, it is 0.194 seconds
24 seconds on the shot clock
The Offensive Team
An offensive player cannot stand in the key for more than 3 seconds. If he or she does, then the other team gets the ball. In the NBA, this rule applies to defensive players as well.
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
