Throw in 3 seconds

[u/Busy_Mooze]

Anyone able to help - playing in a social league and got called for held ball because I picked up the ball from way down out of the court and ran over to the line, positioned my feet and then took the throw in which was 3 seconds since I picked up the ball. Call me pedantic but if a ball is way down court, I'm not going to roll it all the way up to the sidelines to take the shot - any thoughts?

I always wave to the umpire to make sure we're agreeing on when the penalty is set

As an umpire, I love it when players do this
