There's one middle school around here that splits their gym in two for games (girls on one side, boys on the other). A fold-out divider separates the two, with no out-of-bounds room on that long side of the court. The other side of the court is the stacked-up bleachers, with about a foot of out-of-bounds area. In essence, we almost have arena-football-style boundary walls.
The team benches are on opposite baselines, and the scorer's table is at the "home team's" baseline with one of those little portable scoreboards that's about the size of a suitcase.
Makes for some interesting challenges and 'ground rules'. Luckily, it's only 7th and 8th grade ball.
