Same procedure is used in TN. TN uses a 6 foot coach's area, we had a school that built a new gym and marked 14 foot CAs. School did not want to add a tape line at 6 foot. TSSAA was asked for a ruling and they notified the School and the Association that if the school did not correct the CAs that the home coach would set and the visiting coach could use the 14 foot CA.
The fixed the lines.
