The width of the lane on the baseline is 6 meters (19'8''), compared to the 12' of NFHS-NCAA lane. The free throw line has almost the same measure (3.6 meters, i.e., 11'10''), if I made right the calculations.

The court length is 28 meters (91'10'') and the width is 15 meters (49'2.5'')

Ciao

Now you're just talking Canadian. Most of us don't speak that.

By "most" you are meaning, those in the USA. Well IMO most of you are the exception to the rest of the world.

AFAIK Canadians spell "metre" (and also "mètre") and not "meter". What about learning the metric system yourselves or even adopting it?

After that you'll be ready to adopt also FIBA rules.
