In the NBA, I believe that the visiting team gets to pick which basket they want to shoot at in the first half. So in some games the teams may shoot at the basket in front of their bench at the end of the game; and in other games, the teams might be shooting at the basket away from their bench at the end of the game.
I think. Drake or Eli can tell you for sure. Either way, lay off the NyQuil. Chuck |

That's right Chuck. Visiting team has first choice of baskets, and the decision need to be made when they first come onto the floor. No warming up, then deciding they want another end of the floor. I see you've been studying your rules!

I believe the rational behind the highschool rule is so that it's easier for the coach to give offensive intructions, in what could be the critical moments of the 2nd half if his bench is in the offensive end.

Until the early 1990's the visiting team for both NFHS and NCAA rules choice which basket it would shoot at for the first half, and the NBA/WNBA rules just reflect this long time rule. But Moose's comments for the NFHS/NCAA change is correct. And for something competely different, under FIBA rules, the home team decides which basket the teams will shoot at in the first half as well as its bench for the entire game. Under NFHS/NCAA and NBA/WNBA rules, game management determines the team benches.
