Fractured Fairy Tales ...
Once upon a time, on basketball courts, far and wide, there were extra lines painted on the floor called the twenty-eight foot hash marks. These separated the midcourt, from the forecourt (No Bris Milah jokes, please). A dribbler, while being closely guarded in the midcourt, could dribble forward, past the hash mark, and get a new five second count in the forecourt.

Was you partner of the older persuasion?

Thank goodness the court received a circumcision right around 1990.

We've got some very old courts around these parts that still have the hash marks.

That's good because they're supposed to still have 'em as per NFHS rule 1-13-2. They're just supposed to be OOB now.
