NCAA rules on photographers
 

I'm scouring my book and can't find guidance on where media can be positioned courtside. I'm sure I've seen it, but I can't remember where. Casebook? Appendix?

Only thing I see is in regards to backboards and spectators.

Rule 1-13-Art. 3. Each backboard shall be protected from spectators to a distance of at least 3 feet from the end of each backboard.

I had a photographer sitting in front of the scorer's table on Saturday. There's no way she should be there, but I couldn't remember a rule about it. :(

Beckon him in.

This is in the NCAAW book, in rule 1 (emphasis added):

Section 3. Boundary Lines, Restraining Lines and Other Markings
Art. 1. The court shall be marked with boundary lines (sidelines and end
lines), restraining lines and other mandatory lines and markings as shown on
the Court Diagram. There shall be at least 3 feet (and preferably 10 feet) of
unobstructed space outside the sidelines. All lines must be clearly discernible
and distinguishable.
Art. 2. Instead of the 2-inch boundaries listed on the Court Diagram, it is
legal to use contrasting-colored floor areas by painting the out-of-bounds area,
the center circle, and the free-throw lanes and lines so that the mathematical
line between the two colors is the boundary. Such a contrasting-colored out-ofbounds
belt should be at least 8 inches wide.
Art. 3. The restraining line shall be a solid, interrupted or mathematical line
formed between two colors. The line may be a color that is either the same or
different from that of the end lines. When space is not available for a 6-foot
restraining line, the line should be marked using the maximum available
distance. Nonplaying personnel (e.g., cheerleaders, media, etc.) shall not be
permitted in this area when the ball is live.

The court diagram at the front of the book may have some verbiage.
