It also had a balcony which made throw-ins difficult for the taller players (not a problem I had).
I remember the main, double-doors for the gym were right under the one basket located very close to the court. If you ran too fast for a layup on occasion you would go right out the doors – and if they weren’t open……..  Ah, the good/bad ole days. |
And if they were open, you could run down the hallway and re-enter the gym using a different door, and be wide open for a three.
