Severely Burned By Hot Lava And Hot Coals ...

It certainly did "blow up". When will players learn to not stop dribbling near the division line, or to not "hang out" anywhere near the division line hoping to catch a passed ball?

Back when I was coaching middle school basketball, I would teach my players that the division line was covered with a long linear stream of hot lava, and that the offensive lane was covered in hot coals.

One could momentarily touch those areas, but touch them more than a few seconds and one would get severely burned.
