Small gyms
CR & JR have it covered. The restraining line is the boundary line, period. No one breaks it, otherwise it's a violation. (Possible exception below.)
We've got these at several gyms in south central Iowa. We get/have to see it 3-4 times a year, so not a ton. We absolutely review it during our pregame car ride.
Question: Was the throw in after a made basket? OP didn't say, but couldn't an offensive player cross the line for an OOB throw to a teammate? (As long as they were established OOB when they caught the pass, then passed it in bounds rather than dribbling up court?)
Rule: 1-2-2
If, on an unofficial court, there is less than 3 feet of unobstructed space outside any sideline or end line, a narrow broken line shall be marked on the court parallel with and 3 feet inside that boundary. This restraining line becomes the boundary line during a throw-in on that side or end, as in 7–6. It continues to be the boundary until the ball crosses the line.
