Most of the better officials uses Rut's approach to the box. If you aren't yelling at me I don't care. I also care if the scorer or the time keeper can't see the floor because you are standing in front of them.
Guys,
For NFHS games the maximum is 14 feet. The 2001-02 Rules Book introduced this change. I don't even see a reference to the six-foot box any more.
