== == If an offensive team player stayed in the key-hole (painted area) for more than 3 seconds its called a 3 seconds violation. Ball awarded to the opposing team!

In the NBA, there is also a defensive three second call. If a defensive player is in the painted area for three seconds while not guarding an offensive player, the officials can call a defensive three second violation. This rule was put in to keep teams who play the zone defense from placing a player in the lane solely for rebounding or keeping an offensive player from driving the lane.

To prevent the big man (Center) from clogging the paint underneath the basket so much on defense, it could be used as an exploit. On offense the 3 second violation could keep the center from scoring at will underneath the basket so much, which could also be used as an exploit.
