I think that’s it. If you see this feature, it is a relic of a bygone era. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Well, 28' marks are relevant in regards to bench area and coaching box.

And that's for courts 84' or longer. Those shorter can't use that as a point of reference, though I bet there's a lot of misinformed AD's thinking so.

Twenty-Eight Foot Hashmark ...
Quote:
My arm's getting tired just thinking about it. The twenty-eight foot hashmark also had something to do with lack of action, but that's another story for another time.

Who's Calling Mark T. DeNucci, Sr. Antiquated ???
Quote:
Three jump ball circles, center, and at each end of the court. And lots of jump balls back then. To start each quarter, and each overtime period. Plus, anytime we go to the alternating possession arrow today, we had a jump ball back then. One could have literally dozens of jump balls in a girls subvarsity game. Yeah, it was like heaven for Mark T. DeNucci, Sr. back then. If he had his way the alternating possession arrow would be thrown in the trash and burned to a crisp.

In my youth, I reffed middle-school/grammar school games (without training). . . my arm could be tired from all those jump balls in the girls' games . . .

Purple Girls Can't Jump ...
And it's always difficult figuring out how high subvarsity girls can jump in order to toss the ball to an appropriate height.

Memories Of The Way We Were ...

Quote:
If instructed to "Play ball" the offense had to move the ball past the hashmarks. If the defense was responsible they had to initiate a five second closely guarded count. Not sure, but one "Play ball" warning per team per quarter, technical foul after the warning. This was the Pleistocene Epoch version of the shot clock.

That does jog my memory and sounds right. I am older than you (and MTD), so my memory lapses must be excused.
