What coaches think is true!
I have never been able to figure out from where the coaches get these strange ideas, but they really believe them!
Canyon Springs coach Freddie Banks (who played for UNLV in the 1987 Final Four) said the following Thursday night after his team won despite only scoring 19 points in the first half while playing on the home court of the University of Nevada: "I think what (we) were trying to do was get a feel of the court because this a bigger court compared to what we play in high school. It’s longer and it’s wider."
While most HS courts are 84 feet long and college is 94, I have never been on a HS court which is less than 50 feet in width (although by rule it can be smaller).
As Canyon Springs is one of the newest schools in Vegas, I seriously doubt that the court is less than 50 feet wide.
