That's the one that Bigwhistle and I were talking about above,Mick.I don't remember using the FT line,but there's a lot of things I don't remember about the "60s. :They divided the frontcourt into 2 sections-forecourt(closest to endline) and mid-court(closest to center line).Once the offense was warned,every time they had the ball in the mid-court area,they had to move it into the fore-court by dribbling or passing,unless they were closely guarded.Five seconds was the time I remember,too.Count stopped when the ball went into the forecourt,and a new one started if it moved back into the mid-court.I think they allowed one warning/team/quarter and you started fresh the next quarter,but I'm not really sure.Btw,sounds like you were one of the "Converse Chuck Taylor" guys.Remember those?:

Oh, yeah!
In fact our team shoe was the White high-top Converse All-Star. The low blacks with that blue thing on the toe were justfor "cool". 
We got a shoe deal at Fred Elliots's shoe store. Two pairs per year. Seems like University of Wisconsin is being spanked for that right now.
