Same thing here in one of our Catholic middle school league gyms. Home bench, and table crew, on one endline, and visitors bench on the other endline. It feels like we're playing basketball in a single lane bowling alley. But the gym does have some charm.

Also, I've actually worked a high school (prep school) varsity game in a gym that was so small that the feet of the players sitting on the benches were inbounds most of the time, and the court had two division lines, one closest to the basket the team was shooting at for the ten second violation count, and another one farther back for a backcourt violation. Really.
