Yikes!
When I played in Junior High (in the early 1980s), our gym had no out of bounds lines. We played the wall out of bounds on all four sides. We had to put our foot against the wall to inbounds and the court was so short that the ball had to come back behind the far FT line for a backcourt violation.
