 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.

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.
