Bingo. Give JRutledge a prize from the top shelf.

It was a long time ago. Maybe I was incorrect in my earlier post. There were three lines, two "secondary" lines, and a "real" division line, with a jump ball circle (one of three jump ball circles back in the olden days). Maybe the offensive team had to get it over the "real" division line in ten seconds, and after that could legally "back-up" to the "secondary" line "behind" the "real" division line, without incurring a backcourt violation.
