In the days before a shot clock, the team with the ball would have had a much easier time running out the clock if they had the entire court to work with. Imagine 4-corners being played with the entire court. The defense wouldn't have had much of a change to steal the ball.

How is this legal in NCAA-W, then? The BC rules are exactly the same between M and W, to my knowledge.
I know am responding late to this particular post, but HawkeyeCubP, I can only guess that you are not married, :p.

It long precedes the shot clock as a way of preventing a team from using the full court to endlessly stall and giving the defense a fair chance to force a turnover.
