A philosophy to remember is that before ruling a three-second violation, know if the offense is in control of the ball.
In the above photo, control is soon to be in question. Withhold any decision until the offensive team regains the loose ball after having been in the freethrow lane for more than three seconds.

The highlighted player starts to exit the lane before the three-second count is reached, and he does not stop until he clears the lane.
Last week, Joe highlighted a play in which an offensive player loses control of the ball while in the lane, which reset the count, and then after regaining control, the player started his motion toward the basket. Together, these two events resulted in a long — but legal — count in the lane.
However, the rulebook also includes two actions the player in the lane can take to discontinue or pause the count: If the player is in the act of shooting before or at the end of the third second, the count is discontinued while he is in continuous motion toward the basket, or If the player will imminently exit the lane, the count is discontinued until he exits.
If the violation called is a defensive one, a technical foul is awarded to the team, leading to a free throw attempt by the opponent plus the subsequent possession of the ball. There are two types of 3-second violations in basketball: offensive 3-second violations and defensive 3-second violations. The goal of the three second rule pertaining to the offense is to keep offensive players from spending too much time just standing under the net.
If they were allowed to stay below the net for the entire time that the shot clock runs, it would be way easier to get rebounds , block out defenders, and score. This rule challenges the offensive to keep moving and be more creative with how they score and get rebounds. The purpose of the three second violation for the defense is very similar to that of the offense.
If defensive players were able to stand within the key for the whole shot clock time, they would be able to better knock away shots, get rebounds, and defend the basket. This rule and threat of violation ensures that the offense has more chances of getting to the basket, but also requires the defense to be more efficient in the way they defend outside of the key.
