Plus, we can now tell coaches (and admins) that the box is absolute -- its there on the court correctly marked or we don't use it. Get out of it, and you will be issued a T. Now, even I admit 6 feet is way too restrictive.

We use a 14 foot box now and it still doesn't work. Give 'em the college box (28' to the endline). It is real easy to see if they are out and then whack 'em. Works in college.

You beat me to it... Texas switched to the 14 foot box this past season. Of course, nobody marked it (not even at the state tournament) and there wasn't any pressure from up high to make them mark it so once again, nobody enforced the box.
