I remember, before the shot clock, the NCAA rules required a team to come out and play defense if the other team was holding the ball, providing that team holding the ball was ahead or tied. My kids and wife say I'm crazy, but I know I remember seeing officials forcing teams to go out and play defense.

Am I remembering incorrectly? I realize this rule is OBE with the shot clock, but do High School Rules ever force teams to come out and play defense?

Thanks for any help.

I haven't been around the officiating scene for long, but I can speak for the last 4 years. I have never heard of a rule that forced a high school team to play defense.

What was the game where the guy stood there for like 4 minutes +. Wasn't it the one Hoosiers was based on??

4 years isn't that long. There used to be a lack of action rule in high school that forced the team behind to press play. Thankfully, that disappeared about, oh, 13 years ago.

You aren't crazy.

It may have been in the 80's when it last happened, but there was a time were the defense had to come out and play near the hash marks (remember those?) if the offense was not forcing that action.

I've seen floors that have been re-painted, but still have the hash marks.

Hash marks...whew! Don't you hate it when you're dressing for the big game and one of your partners has "hash marks"!

Nope. If a coaching box is used, the 28' line is the far end of the coaching box. This line that's painted for the end of the box is supposed to be off the court and 2" wide. Rule 1-13-2.

The old mid-court area lines used for the "lack of action" rules were painted on the court and were 3' long.

I always thought the 28' marks were for a "green light" to shoot! Back in the day we had a pretty up-tempo offense and coach always said, "once past this line, start putting it up"! Of course we used to wear LONG socks and SHORT pants back then, too. Refs were terrible back then, too - thank goodness the game has changed along with the refs today being sooo much better!

The older I get...the better I was and am!

I was at a middle school yesterday that isn't 13 years old. They have the 28 foot hash marks and the inner jump circle.
