Can anyone who has their rule book handy help me out.

Last night in a lovely summer game the following came up.

Free Throw sitch, non-shooting player is down on the blocks.

How far backward can this player walk, as long as she stays within her "block lines". I contend that you can go to the sideline. My partner and the coach says it is only 3 feet. Did I kick it?

You kicked it. 3 feet.

1-5-2
The color of the lane-space marks and neutral-zone marks shall contrast with the color of the lane boundary lines. The lane-space marks (2 inches by 8 inches) and neutral-zone marks (12 inches by 8 inches) identify areas which extend 36 inches from the outer edge of the lane lines toward the sidelines. There are four marked lane spaces on each lane boundary line.

Oh well.

deny, deny, deny.....

Where was this player going?

I think she was just grumpy with herself, and during the first shot turned and walked away from the lane.

I saw no disconcertion, so why call anything? Guess I should have.

Ah, yes.
