Question
IF YOU ARE INBOUNDING A BALL UNDER YOUR OWN BASKET AND ONE OF YOUR PLAYER ARE IN THE LANE AREA IS THE TIME THEY CAN BE THERE BEFORE THERE IS A VIOLATION?
HI Charles,
There is no time limit a player can be in their own lane until the ball has been inbounded into their own front court. In other words, lets say Player A-1 is inbounding the ball under their own basket and throws it all the way into the backcourt (which is legal), and player A-2 has possession in the backcourt. Any Team A player may stand in the key or the lane until Player A-2 crosses the half court line, which of course in boys basketball is 10 seconds and in girls 8 seconds. The 3 second in the key violation only applies when you have team control of the ball in your own front court, and the 3 second count resets after every shot attempt. I hope that clears up your question.

My expertise is in the art of Officiating Basketball and I can answer questions pertaining to basketball rules; youth level through CIF High School, NCAA college and NBA rules as well. I can either help define a specific rule for you, or interpret a specific rule to clarify how other officials and I view and call the game.
Experience
I have been a Basketball Official now for over 19 years, officiating at all levels. I have attended numerous training camps throughout the years in an attempt to constantly become a better official. I have been evaluated by top Officiating organizations and I've had the honor of being selected to officiate at the highest levels including former Division 1 College and NBA players.
