Three Second Violation?

An easy question from Shawn:

Is it a three second violation when the ball has been shot, and both offensive and defensive players are going for the rebound?

Answer: No it is not a 3-second violation once the ball has been shot. The rule reads that a player cannot be in the lane for more than 3 seconds while the ball is in control of that team. Control by that team ends when a shot is released.
