96 possessions x 42' = 3232'.
Which is why my previously reported five miles seemed to be awful high. Or maybe I had to cross the court far too often because partners at C and T failed to pick up on rotations.  |
It can't be more than two or three miles. The court just isn't big enough for the number to come out higher than that.
Of course, there are many factors that impact this: is it an up and down game or a half-court affair, is there a shot clock, is it 2-man or 3-man, what kind of physical shape is the official in, etc.
