College 28 Foot Hash Mark ...

[bob jenkins]

I *think* it was put there so officials could more easily see when the coach was beyond the (old) coaching box -- and today, maybe, so officials can more easily see when others are beyond the bench area.

Isn't the coaching box supposed to be within the 28-foot mark and the end line if used?

NCAAW (and I thought NCAAM, but I don't know) expanded the coaching box (but not he bench area) to 38' a few years ago. There's a separate line on the floor for that.

Yes, but I was not talking about the NF Rule. I thought he was asking is why there is a 28-foot mark for high school.

Here in my little corner of Connecticut, I occasionally see some 28 foot hash marks inbounds on high school courts, often on middle school courts.
