On backboards, a rectangular box is taped or painted just above the rim. When I was a kid, I was taught to use the box when doing lay-ups.
Does anyone actually know the real history behind this artwork that graces so many backboards? TIA |
Jurassic Referee thought it would be a good idea and Dr. Naismith agreed. :D

I may have to e-mail DeNucci on this one. Next time he's up in his attic, I want him to get out the 1915 rulebooks! |
