F Throw marked lane space
 

This may have been discussed, but I don't believe the rule book states how far back a player may stand in the marked lane space. I have only seen one team that would place one player back about 4 ft from the marked lane space. I didn't think it was legal, but my co-official cautioned me about making the violation call. I can't seem to find anything in the rule book.

The only thing they did, was use this as a quick inbounds to this player on a made basket. I saw this several years ago, but never thought about it until this morning I was reading the NFHS Rules by Topic.

Lane spaces are 3 feet deep. 1-5-1, 9-1-3g (NFHS)

Agreed and I believe there are other references such as 8.1.4 or 5 that state how the lanes must be occupied. Anyone outside of the marked lane must be above the free throw line extended and outside the 3-point arc.

Thanks scrapper

Also notice there is NO metric conversion listed. This is America! :rolleyes:

.9144 meters. I know Mark was curious.

What harm can the remaining 8.56 centimeters do? Just round to one meter, it's easier. ;)

Do you know that also rugby went metric many years ago? And the 24 yard line became the 22m line?

Uh huh. And if your friends wanted to jump off a cliff, would you jump too? :cool:

As Tommy Smothers once said when asked that - "Uh uh, not again." :D
