We have some tiny gyms around here. There is one that sounds similar to this one, but it's at a 1A rural public school. Fan backboards, VERY small court, almost no room around the OOB lines (Walls close, benches are almost sitting on the court, bleachers close). It's very difficult to call a game there because it feels like there is always something in your way.

What were "they" thinking?
I don't know what architects or designers think sometimes. I mean, this court was made so there shouldn't be a game/spectators in it....
Elementary school gym, with teenagers 15U playing - first off they're too big for this gym. Next, the sidelines are rediculous. Where the benches/table are there is no room to inbounds the ball. Literally inches from the court. Most parents have to stand, because if you sit......your feet may be on the court! My least favorite part though is there is a really, really low, permanent/non-movable basket on the near sideline by the V bench. At one point I was in transition and called a foul.....as I raised my arm to signal the foul my hand/arm went up and into the bottom of the net! (I'm only 5'8") And, to top it off, it's a CHAIN net! Indoors? You're kidding me? I sent a note to my assignor......sigh.

It was probably made only for the purposes of having PE class with no consideration that it would ever be used for anything else. (or no budget to make it bigger for use in any other capacity).

Ironically, back "in the day", we played a HS in OHIO that may have the record for being small. It is difficult to describe except for this. When brining the ball up, we had 10 seconds to get the ball over half court. Once past half court, the "division" line was then moved back to the volleyball line.(Spike/hit line? not oob) The home team used it to their advantage. We would press and when we THOUGHT we had a good trap just past half court, theyw ould just pass it backwards. Frustrating, but it WAS fun taking shots from "half - court"!!!

It would follow that the 3pt line would be incorrect as well. |

One good part is that there was a schedule mixup and we had THREE officials do this game. As the C it was ten/eleven walking strides from foul line to foul line. Fifty-five minutes. Didn't even work-up a sweat. Cha-ching!

Good points I hadn't considered at the time.

That's the problem with metric gyms.
