I'm not convinved that was a three second violation....
Three seconds! Keep a couple of things in mind. Three seconds does not begin for the offense until the ball enters the frontcourt. Secondly, three seconds actually “suspends” when an offensive player enters the lane is making an offensive move. Therefore, if a player is in the lane for two seconds, receives the ball and makes an offensive move, the violation should not be called and should be given the opportunity to score. If the player stops the move, then the three second “clock” should resume. Additionally, three seconds “resets” itself every time a shot goes up.
I think Biggie was making an offensive move, then lost the ball. We may have recovered it but they blew the whistle. Or he may have even been fouled in there, but I don't think it was a valid three second call.
