My book's in the car, but I'm pretty sure it's 36 x 36. 36 inches really isn't that deep.

Okay lets say we agree on 36 x 36 once the shooter has the ball can a player step off the line staying within the 36 inches and not disconcerting the free thrower and not have a lane violation?

What would the violation be for?

Okay, we agree this should not have been a lane violation. I talk the referee after the game and I did not agree with his explanation that once the shooter has the ball nobody can move off the lane line. I felt as long as he stayed within the 36" x 36" box he was okay as long as he did not disconcert the free thrower.

Thank you all for verifying my thoughts.
