Well, all of the above answers are wrong!!! 
The free throw lane is ....
19 feet long (and 12' wide).
It starts at the endline and stops at the FT line that is 19' away.
It just so happens that the plane of the backboard is 4' from the endline and is 15' from the FT line.

All?
I said it was 19 feet 4' to backboard plus 15' to FT line 4 posts ago.

OK. It's an artifact of how I read the board. I go through the topics and "Shift-Click" on the blue arrow for all the threads that I want to look at. This opens a new window for each thread. I get to some of the windows right away and others after a while...sometimes an hour or two.
At the time I loaded the page, your response wasn't there....I later read the thread, as I had previously loaded it, and replied....but your post was already there!
(FYI...The blue arrow takes you to the first of the new posts since you were last on the board...I was on this board for 1-2 years before I noticed them and knew what they did).
