Midcourt Forecourt

The 28 foot midcourt hashmark used to separate the frontcourt into the midcourt and the forecourt. It used to be used, as stated in previous posts, to start a new five second count. It also used to be used for the old Lack of Action rule. If I remember correctly, the team behind, when on offense, had a certain amount of time to advance the ball from the midcourt into the forecourt. I believe that the amount of time allowed changed from ??? to ??? during the mid-1980's. Veterans, please help.
