Why would he measure that (ignoring the typo on "hand")? The book specifies the distance from the face of the backboard to the FT line.

And, while there's usually a pin-hole in the floor directly under the center of the basket, you'd also have to measure the basket diameter to be sure the FT line was the correct distance from the backboard.
