Tenn vs Vandy

[grunewar]

My "home court" when I played growing up was the local Community Center with a very small gym.

Absolutely no room around the court for throw-ins as the folding chairs for the benches and spectators were right along the court. Many a time diving for the ball ended up in major collisions with spectators and heaps of mangled chairs. It also had a balcony which made throw-ins difficult for the taller players (not a problem I had).

I remember the main, double-doors for the gym were right under the one basket located very close to the court. If you ran too fast for a layup on occasion you would go right out the doors – and if they weren’t open…….. Ah, the good/bad ole days.

And if they were open, you could run down the hallway and re-enter the gym using a different door, and be wide open for a three.

C'Mon, you know one of these guys would ring me up for illegally being out of bounds/player leaving the court!
