What is an offensive 3 second violation in basketball?

Answer 1

This call is only made in the NBA == == Defensive 3-Second Rule - Any defensive player, who is positioned in the free throw lane or the area extending 4 feet past the lane's end line must be actively guarding an opponent within three seconds. Actively guarding means being within arms length of an offensive player and in a guarding position. The defensive three-second count is suspended when: (1) a player is in the act of shooting, (2) there is a loss of team control, (3) the defender is actively guarding an opponent, (4) the defender completely clears the 16-foot lane or (5) it is imminent the defender will become legal. Infraction of this rule results in a technical foul.

Answer 2

Otherwise known as three-seconds-in-the-key-way.

Players on the offensive team are only allowed 3 seconds in their keyway at anytime, well, as long as the ref is looking.

If called 'Three-seconds' the ball is given to the opposing team from the baseline.

Answer 3

when someone stays in the lane, or rectangle from the free throw line to the baseline, for 3 seconds. for an offensive player, it results in a turnover, while for a defensive player, it is a technicle foul. the defensive version is not observed in highschool

Answer 4

When someone stands in the paint (under the goal or right in front of the free-throw line) for three seconds, the ref will whistle, and the offensive team (team with the ball) gets a free throw for one point. Now in a offensive three seconds is when the team that has the ball, and someone on that same team gets the three seconds, the other team (defensive team) doesn't get free throw shot, they'll just get the ball.

Answer 5

where the defensive player is in the paint without marking any one.

Answer 6

Answer 7

It's when an offensive player is in the paint for 3 or more seconds.

Answer 8

Yes. When that happens the team on offence gets to shoot one freethrow and gets the ball back. Its considered a technical if I'm not mistaken
