NCAA R1-S2-A1 states that the dimenions of the court shall be 50ft by 94ft, while NFHS R1-S1 states that the dimenions of the court shall not exceed 50ft by 94ft with the ideal size being 50ft by 84ft.

Many high schools in Ohio have courts that are 94ft in length and the many tournament games are played on college courts. I have never heard a coach from a school whose home court is 84ft in length complain about playing on a court whose length is 94ft. Only after I retired from college officiating after MTD, Jr.'s first year of officiaing did I start to complain about having to officiate on a 94ft court, .

The state finals in both the boys' and girls' tournaments are played at The Ohio State University. And the Ohio Special Olympics have played its final four on college size courts.
