What was (is) the purpose of the division line?
There is a line that goes across the court that we call the "division line." As we have discovered in another thread, this line is not used to determine where players must stand for free throws as a result of technical fouls.
What was the original intent of this line? I am trying to establish a "base line" (not to be confused with the "end line") for a discussion. |

the division line is the determination of of front court (offense) and back court (defence) as well as refered to as time line in FED and NCAAM NBA where you have a specific amount of time where you may have the ball in the back court during any possession. 10 sec (8 sec NBA)
The division line once posssesion is established beyond this point determines where certain offensive rules come into play such as closely guarded, FED and NCAAM, as well as back court violations in all.

Correct. That was the original purpose.

6-on-6 -> 2 defenders, 2 forwards, 2 rovers. = 4-on-4 each side.

I've been wrong before.
