Cool

Maybe Rut was refering to FIBA rules?

Under FIBA, the line is always considered to be part of the area of the court that would cause a violation.

In other words, if you are inbounding the ball, the line is part of the playing area. If the ball is inbounds, the line os part of out of bounds. When attempting a 3, the line is part of the two point area. When lining up for free throws, the lane lines are part of the restricted area.

Sounds confusing, but is actually very easy to intepret and officiate.
