In 1935, a rule was adopted that stopped any offensive player from standing in the free throw lane for more than three seconds. In 1955, the foul lane was widened to 12 feet (3.7 meters) from the previous 6 feet (1.83 meters). These changes resulted in more offensive movement and less rough physical contact near the basket.
When an offensive player has any portion of one foot or both feet completey in the lane for 3 seconds with removing it or a teammate taking a shot. At the point of the rebound of a missed shot the 3 second count will begin again.
On the offensive end, the three second rule was adopted in 1936. On the defensive end, the rule was adopted in 2001.

If you are on offense, you can not stay in the key for longer then 3 seconds or else you will get a 3 seconds call. You have 5 seconds to throw the ball in when it is out of bounds. If you don't get the ball inbounds in time it will be a turnover. You have 10 seconds to get the ball down the court onto the opposite half to which the ball was thrown in. If you don't get it across halfcourt on time that will be a turnover. These are just a few of the many violations.
