Does the 3 second rule still exist?

I got no problem with physical defense inside. It's preferable to the alternative, which is usually how it's called in the NBL.

There should be an advantage to having a dominant post player on either end of the court.

Yes Bear, that's why I raised it, because my team (CNS) don't have one of those dominant big man :)

This ruling issue comes up every now and then, so I am guessing the catalyst this time is all the noted big men in the NBL this season and people not wanting them to dominate the paint.

Well, interestingly enough I wonder where the rule about contact (illegal holding, grabbing and blocking or pushing) comes into the picture?

You can't have it both ways boys, so where we get fixated by the 3 second key-way rule and may wish to have our officials abide by the FIBA interpretations, we also have to establish some common sense principles to that equation IMO.

Why should the big guy playing post be penalised for using 3 seconds when the defender is allowed to spend all his time actually being as physical as what I observed during the NBL games in week 1?

Seriously, do we want scoring or do we want to watch the WWE...?

It's definitely one of the harder rules for referees to track, as it's an 'off-the-ball' action most of the time. When I'm playing if I feel a team is getting away with it, I count out-loud which usually has the effect of either making the guy leave the key or bringing the referee's attention to it... or sometimes probably pissing them off. :D
