Rinky Dink Gym

Alot of gym's I've had in the past that were that small had use of a restraining line. Certainly helpful when inbounding on sideline with peoples feet on the court.

Dematha high school (Hyattsville Maryland) is one of the most legendary programs in the US (currently ranked nationally) and they play in a cracker box. They have terrible parking and the spectators in the front row often have their feet inbounds. All of this with many large players on the court that will be in D1 programs. It is nothing like what I thought their gym would be. The assigner even tells officials to be early so they can get a parking spot.

I worked in a local gym calling some rec ball. The court is tiny as it is. But there is a low balcony that overhangs one end of the floor. It's low enough that it prevents the thrower from making long passes over the defender. So they've got a broken line a few feet inbounds that serves as the OOB line for throw-ins.

Definately worth it, though. Hell - I'd walk from downtown D.C. up to Hyatsville for the chance to call a Dematha game.

There is a gym in Wilberforce Ohio that's really old. From the outside, it looks like an Army barracks. Inside, it's very dark. The floor has to be about 110 feet long! Additionally, the floor is not flat. There are small hills and valleys throughout the floor.

They did have good popcorn at the concessions stand, however.
